Where can you find me this weekend?

Hi there friends.  This is a busy weekend for me and a busy time of year for all!  Are you looking to purchase some homemade crafts that you didn't have time to make?  Do you want to create a custom ornament from scratch and help Tornado victims?  Well, you can do either or both with me this weekend.  First up, tomorrow from 10-4 you can visit me in Sutton at the Chain of Lights!

  Ten historic trolleys will transport you caroling through one of New England's most picturesque towns at the height of the Christmas season. 

Santa making will be shown at Vaillancourt Folk Art, bark candy will be spread at Eaton Confectioners, gingerbread house displays, art shows and old house tours.  Church fairs, historic apple samplings and eggnogs.  Pictures with Santa, brass bands, tree lighting ceremonies and good cheer.  During the Chain of Lights the school will feature the Gingerbread House Spectacular, Cake Walk, Giant Raffles, Kidz Zone and Shopping Alley.  It's all here- just as it has been for over 300 years.

Dress warmly.  Enjoy a casual, low-key, slow afternoon.  Take time to meet your neighbors while experiencing the full Spirit of Christmas! 
GPS directions are :383 Boston Road  Sutton, MA 01590.  Enter through the Simonian Doors.
