Local businesses and artisans came together on Saturday for the Sacred Heart School Community Council’s third annual Christmas craft and trade show.
The event took place at the school’s gym with 29 vendors taking part, making it the largest Christmas craft and trade show put on by the School Community Council (S.C.C.).
All of the funds raised from the event go to helping the teachers at Sacred Heart School.
“The funds raised go to our teacher’s wish list, which is money that we set aside specifically for our teachers so if there is anything that they want for their classroom instead of using out of pocket, they come to the S.C.C. and we can provide that for them,” Sacred Heart S.C.C. chairperson Nikki Ebbett said.
A silver collection was taken at the door and a penny parade took place with items donated from the vendors.
There were also activities for the kids with craft tables and glitter tattoos. Even Jolly Old St. Nick made a guest appearance.
“It’s our first year having Santa here. We were really excited to find out he had a day off and he could come here,” Ebbett said.
