Thank You for your part in the Success of 2025 Annisquam Sewing Circle Christmas Fair!
From the moment the doors opened at 8:00 AM, there was a steady stream of shoppers, many of whom looked forward to the Fair each year, as well as many newcomers. The beautifully renovated Village Hall filled with the holiday scent of evergreens, accompanied by laughter, lively conversations, and festive music, creating an festive atmosphere.
The extensive selection of wreaths, boxwood trees, and table pieces was created in the Village Hall the five days leading up to the Fair. The needlepoint ornaments, crafted by the Needles Group, took 12 months to produce. Other hand-crafted items were created in ASC workshops, while many were crafted by members at home. The Food Table was laden with homemade cakes, cookies, preserves, and so much more, wrapped ready for gift giving. By the time the Fair concluded at 12:30 PM, there was very little left in the Hall.
This Fair and other events hosted by the ASC embody the original mission of the group established in 1837, which aimed to foster community support during a time when many social programs did not exist. While the ASC may not leave bags of food on doorsteps, the funds raised during these events go to Cape Ann nonprofits dedicated to supporting our neighbors in need.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who contributed to the success of this year’s event.
