From the Meredith Chamber website:

Nov 17 Parks & Recreation 1st Annual Holiday Craft Fair at the Community Center from 9:00am-2:00pm. Amazing display from local crafters. There will be a raffle of donated items from each vendor which will benefit the After School Program scholarship fund. Info: Sarah Perkins 279-8197

I think I've also seen signs around town for one at St. Charles Church.

This is not exactly what you're looking for but also holiday and craft related, the Winni Playhouse is holding a Holiday Arts Workshop for kids on December 1 from 9am-2pm at the Meredith Campus. More details at www.winniplayhouse.org.

Check out this website: www.NewHampshireLakesandMountains.com and click on The Baysider (Alton/Barnstead weekly paper). They have lots of info on area craft festivals and activities in the Alton/Barnstead/Wolfeboro area. I saw in this Thursday's edition that there is a holiday craft show at Kingswood High in Wolfeboro on 11/24 and there will be one at Prospect Mountain High (Alton/Barnstead) on Dec. 8th. You can also do a Google search on "The Baysider" and go directly to that paper. New editions are added each Thursday.

evergreenenvious, I just noticed that you are fairly new to posting on the forum and glad you have joined us. Have fun and enjoy the Winni Forum while making many new friends. It looks as if you are getting some great responses already from the members.
