The
Annual Cavendish Holiday Fair takes place on Saturday, November 30 from 9-3 at
the Cavendish Town Elementary School in Proctorsville. Sandwiched between the
shopping days of “Black Friday,” and “Cyber Monday,” the Cavendish Fair is all
about local shopping with an emphasis on keeping the “green” not only in the
holidays, but also in town.
While
some things change from year to year, there are favorites that everyone looks
forward to, among them the luncheon served by Holy Name of Mary and of course
the big question-who will be the lucky winner of St. James’s “Tower of
Chocolate!”
New
this year will be a “hand-made-by-you” workshop featuring Duct Tape. From 10
am- 2pm you can learn to make one of the following items out of duct tape:
wallet, tie, beaded bracelet or a marshmallow blowpipe. The cost is $5 for one item or $10
for three items. All supplies are provided, including marshmallow ammo. Those
who wish to make more of one item (Uncle Harry as well as Dad would like a Duct
Tape tie) can do so for a materials fee of $3 per additional item.
Luncheon Menu: Soups, chili, hot dogs,
sandwiches, brownies, ice cream, coffee and soda.
