This is an exciting time for our community! Everyone is invited to “Follow the Stars” to First Congregational Church located at 39 Main Street, Holy Family Catholic Church located at 36 Lincoln Street, Essex Senior Center at 2 Lincoln Street and St. James Episcopal Church located at 4 St. James Place to celebrate the holiday season.

On Saturday, November 14, each group will hold its holiday craft festival from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. as part of the Seventh Annual Five Corners Craft Fest. Again this year each event will give a punch card to the first 150 visitors at their location. Cards that have been fully punched by visiting all locations during the day will be entered into a drawing. Each person has an opportunity to win one of Four gift baskets, each donated by one of the groups. Follow the stars and get there early to make sure you get your card. Special attractions include a “Nearly New” sale and silent auction at First Congregational, a cookie walk at St. James, meat pies at Holy Family and many crafters at the Senior Center. Don't forget to leave time for a delicious lunch at one of the wonderful places.

Please contact Linda Bogardus at 872-8972 or lbogardus@myfairpoint.net for more information or with any questions. Happy Holidays.
