Every year The Community School welcomes the holiday season with a festive open house on the first Saturday in December. Beginning at 10 am, visitors stop by to pick up pre-ordered holiday wreaths adorned with lavish bows and an assortment of decorative cones and berries. Inside, they can warm themselves by the woodstove, have a hearty lunch, peruse the tables of fine art, crafts, and gift items, and create family memories in the friendly atmosphere of the historic Perkins farmhouse.
The first floor reception area, hallways, and sunlit classrooms will be filled with crafters’ and artists’ tables, offering a wide selection of unique creations. Upstairs, the Theater Room will be awash in lights and music. Here you can tour the Festival of Trees — beautiful 5-8’ freshly-cut evergreens, with theme-based decorations like: “Fairies,” “Birds,” “Camping Adventures,” and more! Choose one you’d like to have grace your home and take a chance in the raffle.
Kids will enjoy the Curious George “chalk talks” sponsored by the Rey Foundation in the school library. Later they may shop in the Kids’ Bargain Bazaar, filled with reasonably priced gifts to buy. Complementary gift-wrapping is available. All that’s left to do is a visit to the craft room to make a gift tag for each present.
The whole family can enjoy a delicious lunch from our kitchen before a taking a swing around the Cookie Walk. Purchase a container and choose an array of homemade Christmas cookies to take home for later.
There will be door prizes and raffles all day long. Plan now to join us for this fun event, 10 am – 2 pm, Saturday, December 5th! Call 323-7000 for more information. The Community School is located at 1164 Bunker Hill Road in South Tamworth, near the junction of Route 25 and Route 113W.
