Irresistible holiday desserts, cookies, breads, cakes, and other homemade foods are available for purchase both days in the courtyard. Our second annual pancake breakfast will be offered on Saturday and lunch is available for purchase both days. An opportunity drawing gives you the chance to win amazing prizes. The Children's Carnival is on Saturday only and features lots of games, an astro jump and crafts for the kids, as well as a Halloween costume parade at noon. Discounted tickets will be available for purchase in advance, or you may purchase tickets for one or all of these activities at the Craft Fair.

Proceeds from this event benefit the children of the multi-denominational early childhood education program at the preschool through the purchase of classroom materials and playground equipment.

All preschool families are encouraged to participate by baking items for the bake sale, selling opportunity drawing tickets and volunteering for a shift as a cashier or other volunteer during the Craft Fair.
