The Thetford Academy Alumni Association (TAAA) will host its 40th annual Holiday Craft Bazaar on Saturday, November 21, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the Vaughan Alumni Gymnasium at TA. Complimentary horse drawn carriage rides will be available from 10:00 a.m to 1:00 p.m. and the cafeteria will be serving coffee, tea, and hot lunch all day. Proceeds from concessions benefit the Alumni Association.
Bazaar organizers and alumni Randy and Tegan Snelling (both Class of 2014) recently took over the event’s leadership from outgoing director Jessica Eaton ’81 and are excited to carry forward the tradition. On this 40th anniversary of the craft fair, the Alumni Association recognizes one of their longest-contributing crafters, Shirley Warden ’58. “Shirley has been with us since the very first craft fair and has only missed one show in all 40 years,” said Tegan, “Be sure to stop by and say hello on fair day; her booth is straight into the gym, second-to-last spot on the right!”
This year’s Bazaar will host more than 60 crafters and have something for everyone on your holiday list – handcrafted jewelry, artisanal soap, wood crafts, baked treats, ornaments, sewn goods, maple syrup, and more. All vendors have donated craft items to be raffled off as a door prize, tickets are at the door, 3 for $1. The Alumni Craft Table is accepting donations of any hand and homemade crafts or baked goods to support scholarships and alumni activities.
