The Thorntons Ferry Craft Fair is well known for its diverse selection of crafters offering terrific handmade items. Some of the items you’ll find this year include jewelry, furniture, dolls & accessories, pet gifts, homemade candy, quilts, water colors, wineglass & mug charms, stained glass and a large assortment of home décor items. There are booths available for crafters for only $45 each. Please visit the Policies page for more details.

Silent Auction
Terrific items go up for bid! In past years items have included Bose speakers, box seats to sports events, and weekend getaways to name just a few. Just put your name on the list along with your bid. At the end of the day the highest bidder takes home the prize! Cash & checks only.

Giant Raffle
There are hundreds of items to hope for in the Giant Raffle. Put your tickets in the boxes for anything your heart desires and perhaps you’ll end up the lucky winner at the end of the day. Raffle participants do not need to be present at the drawing at the end of the day. Raffle items include gift baskets, gift certificates to restaurants, weekend getaways, movies, games and much, much more.

Bake Tables
Mmmmmm, fresh baked pies, breads, pastries, cookies, candies….. Need we say more??

Santa’s Store
Children only in Santa’s Store! Filled with crafts and goodies all under $3, your child can take pride in selecting their own gifts for family and friends. Adult and student volunteers help the children with their selections and then help wrap and label them. Parents wait in the adjoining room, relaxing for a few minutes!

Children’s Actvities
There is plenty of fun for children at the Holiday Craft Fair. Face painting, pictures with Santa, ornament painting, and their own shopping in Santa’s Store top the list. Prime Time from the Nashua Pride and Max from the Manchester Monarchs will be visiting during the day. Children always enjoy walking through the crafters room looking at all the beautiful and creative merchandise.

Refreshments
In the morning there are fresh donuts and hot coffee. Shortly before noon there is fresh pizza, soda and bottled water. Satisfy that hunger for only a nominal charge.
