Holiday Fair

The FUUSN Holiday Fair is a fun, festive event on the first Saturday in December.

The FUUSN Holiday Fair is a fun, festive event on the first Saturday in December.

 Join us as the Parish Hall is transformed into a Holiday marketplace. Shop for gifts, toys, homemade baked goods, wreaths and swags. The Baked Goods table is overflowing with homemade cookies, cakes and sweets, pick up a fresh green wreath, topped with a colorful bow.  Buy a ticket for the Quilt Raffle. You might win a handmade quilt. There’s a holiday caroling session open to all who want to join. Come one, come all to the FUUSN Holiday Fair.

What to Donate – and Please NOT Donate – to the Holiday Fair

We need your donations to make these a success.  However, there are a couple of things we’d like you to keep in mind about donations:

  1. Please, please, please don’t donate things that are dirty, moldy, incomplete, broken, chipped (no matter how nice otherwise), or unsaleable.  We have to throw them out – and since FUUSN pays for trash removal, these donations actually cost FUUSN money. 
  2. Please Do Bring: items that someone could give as a gift. Sets of pretty mugs, sets of placemats and napkins in like-new condition, unopened cocktail napkins, boxed cards, like-new decorative items, like-new silk scarves, nicer holiday decorations, unopened toys and puzzles, items with some value (artwork, sets of china, silver items…) – and of course, jewelry and books.
  3. Inappropriate donations (please don’t make FUUSN pay to dispose of these): Anything that is obsolete (cassette tapes, VHS tapes, old computer/phone cables, old travel guidebooks, etc.). Anything that is incomplete (puzzles/board games that are missing pieces, appliances that are missing cords or necessary accessories…). No clothing (though accessories like scarves and purses are great). No shoes, no large sports equipment (skis, bikes, etc.), and no large electronics (tv’s, computer monitors, etc.).
    4. With your help, we can make this a wonderful Holiday Fair!
