For decades folks have started their Christmas shopping at the famous Brownsville Christmas Bazaar which runs 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, in the morning, shoppers at the Bazaar will enjoy coffee, donuts and Christmas music by West Windsor's famous fiddler, Adam Boyce.
Busy 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.
At 5:30 on Saturday, December 7th, the community will be treated to a concert of Christmas Music and Carols at the Brownsville Community Church. Rev. Christian Huebner has arranged this concert which will feature talented musicians of all ages. There will be organ, brass, piano, voice and more. Composers include Bach. Beethoven and Handel with original compositions by Skip Downing and Allie Leary.
On Saturday, December 14, the community will have 3 opportunities to enjoy a narration of the Christmas story complete with Mary, Joseph, angels, wise men, shepherds and their sheep acting in and around the manger. All can choose from 3 pageant times: 3:00, 3:30 & 4:00 in Tribute Park adjacent to the church. Before, after and in between pageants, inside in Fellowship Hall, there will be a display of crèches (Nativity scenes) and refreshments. The story will be interspersed with beautiful Christmas songs sung by pageant participants, members of the BCC Choir joined by the occasional blatting of live sheep.
