Some of the activities include a Christmas Café, a family supper on Friday night, lunch on Saturday, and a Kids' Korner on both days offering a variety of children's activities and games.

The Second Time Around Kids' Boutique, specializing in used infant and children's clothing, will be back again this year.

There will also be two raffles # one for $500 in fuel ($20/ticket # limit of 100 tickets) and one for a Wii System. Tickets are on a first come, first served basis, and they will only be sold at the fair.

The Silent Auction has many wonderful gift items, including an iPod Shuffle, outdoor home improvement items (i.e., bronze lanterns and landscape lighting), an Alfond Center Kids' Pool Party, refurbished claw foot bathtub, various themed baskets (Red Sox items and a wine enthusiast basket), digital photo frame and gift certificates to local merchants.
