Have a locally made holiday this year by giving your family and friends a holiday gift purchased from the 24 annual Danbury Holiday Craft Fair and Winter Farmers Market on Saturday, December 6th.

Held in the Danbury Grange Hall, across from the firehouse in Danbury, the doors open at 9 am. Downstairs in the Blazing Star Bistro, you can find a hot breakfast of sausage and egg on an English muffin as well as piping hot coffee. Lunch is served from 10:30 am to closing.

This year’s fair and market boasts over 20 vendors on two floors of the historic Grange Hall. All products are locally produced.

Danbury children’s book author, Mary Lyn Ray, will be on hand to sign her books, as well as having them for sale, including her latest “Go to Sleep, Little Farm”.

Farm and local specialty food vendors include Autumn Harvest, Nannie’s Canning Pantry, Nancy’s Chocolates, Cutting Farm, Huntoon Farm, Huckins Farm, and Haunting Whisper Vineyards. Making their debut at the Danbury Market will be La Tarte Cafe & Bakery featuring fine French pastries and their ever popular macaroons.

Handcrafted items may be purchased from The Purple Ant, Rocky Meadow Designs, Charlotte McIver, Lorraine Wason, Sally Peters, Louise Huntoon, Andrea’s Quilted Kitchen Necessities, Margie Gorman, Steven’s Homemade, Nancy Abbott, Beth Chamberlain and Rosemary Mcguirk’s prints.

Blazing Star Grange #71 supports the idea that buying locally is environmentally responsible and fiscally sustainable. Dollars spent at this event strengthens the local economy and create a holiday for you that was not only made in America—it was made in New Hampshire.

The Winter Markets are held on the first Saturday of every month through May from 9 AM – 1 PM in the Grange Hall, across from the fire station on North Road in Danbury. The next market is January 3. For more information visit our Web site at: danburygrange.org.
