Artists, bakers, volunteers and shoppers come together for packed Holiday Faire

Susan Sunzeri, Swati Mohari, Linda Planting, Suzanne Ferris and Ciel Duke at the successful Bake Sale.

Thank you to all that attended our annual Holiday Faire event sponsored by The Villages Arts & Crafts Association on Saturday. What a fun day! Here are some fun stats: We had 36 artists in six rooms, over 400 shoppers and I even saw a couple of kiddos! Our super popular Bake Sale was amazing! Over 37 Villager bakers contributed a range of different items from the tried-and-true Chocolate Chip cookies to mincemeat empanadas and Russian fruit bars. We completely sold out of baked goods. We have some great bakers living hereā€”and a bunch of folks with a sweet tooth. Our volunteers worked behind the scenes for weeks to have such a successful day. Even the weather cooperated.

Thank you to all 29 volunteers that worked together to make it a fun day for everyone.

All proceeds go to enhance and educate residents of The Villages in Arts & Crafts. The Club offers over 30 free events a year for our neighbors.
