Craft Fair Holy Trinity Church Middletown Saturday Dec 7, 2019

Church of the Holy Trinity’s Annual Holiday Fair will be held on Saturday, December 7th from 9 am – 3 pm.  The fair will be held on the 1st and 2nd floors of the Parish Hall and the Church, with elevator access to the 2nd floor. With the Middlesex Chamber of Commerce building right next door, this is a great location as the Holiday on Main Street activities are all going on. 

The horse and wagon rides and the fun train for the kiddies stops right in front of the church, and many people are out and about on Main Street during the holidays.  Many downtown businesses and restaurants have been very generous this year in donating items for the Silent Auction, so come and bid on something for yourself or for a gift!
