“HOLLY FAIR” SET FOR SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1st
ANNUAL PITMAN CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD
“HOLLY FAIR” SET FOR SATURDAY, DECEMBER 1st
The Church of the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church of Pitman (Gloucester County) is pleased to announce that it will again hold its annual “Holly Fair” on Saturday, December 1st from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm.
Popular with area residents celebrating the start of the Christmas season, the Holly Fair features 25 area crafters with a wide array of unique handmade gifts, including home-made crafts created by Church parishioners. (Crafters interested in participating may register by November 26th by emailing goodshepherdpitman@gmail.com or visiting goodshepherdpitman.org)
Food abounds in the Good Shepherd Restaurant, featuring homemade soups, sandwiches for breakfast and lunch and more! Take out service is also available. A variety of delicious holiday favorite homemade baked goods will also be offered and our popular cookies by the pound offer is returning!
The popular St. Nick’s Children’s Craft Center is returning, and bargains galore can be found in the Christmas Store, the Dollar Store and the More than a Dollar Store featuring new and gently used holiday decorations, household items, gifts and trinkets.
A limited supply of fresh wreaths and grave blankets will be available for sale, but come early as they are always a sell-out.
The Good Shepherd Choir will be performing throughout the day to entertain you while you shop. With caroling, the smell of soups and baked goods, and the colors of Christmas abounding, you’ll really get into the spirit of the season!
Good Shepherd is conveniently located at 315 Highland Terrace (at Wildwood Avenue) in historic Pitman, Gloucester County. It is easily accessible from Route 55, Delsea Drive (Route 47), Woodbury-Glassboro Road (Route 553) and Broadway/Main Street.
