Start the day with Christmas shopping at the famous Brownsville Christmas Bazaar from 9 a.m. until 2:00 at the West Windsor Town Hall. The ladies of the United Methodist Women's group have, once again, pulled together a fine gathering of artisans and crafters who will be selling their wares at one of the area's first Christmas Bazaars. And, shoppers at the Bazaar will enjoy Christmas music by West Windsor fiddler, Adam Boyce.
Shoppers can also recharge with a fine lunch starting at 11:00, when the ladies will be offering an array of delicacies including homemade soups, stews, salads and sandwiches as well as freshly baked deserts. Contact Gail Britton at 802-674-6805 for more information on the Bazaar. Contact Ann Matthews for information on the United Methodist Women's group at 802-484-5502.
Before the concert, at approximately 4:00 at the West Windsor Town Hall (Route 44 & Brownsville Hartland Rd.) there will be the Town Holiday Tree Lighting. There will be caroling, a fire pit, tasty refreshments and TWO special visitors from the North Pole arriving on the West Windsor Volunteer Fire Department's new hook-and-ladder!
