Home on the Grange

Holiday markets, bake sales, and here comes Santa Claus again

Saturdays, Dec. 3 and Dec. 10, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.

December brings two more chances for children to spend time with Santa at the Grange. In addition to Father Christmas' presence, there will be fabulous festive gifts for sale from a multitude of artists and vendors, and bake sales to enhance your holiday table.

Holiday treats handmade by members of WINC (Women's International Niwot Club) include British mince pies, large cakes, scones, and more. All of the proceeds from the bake sales go to local charities supported by WINC.
