Christmas in the Manger

More than 130 vendors are coming together at the Saanich Fair's festive annual "Christmas in the Manger" juried craft fair to offer you their handcrafted, homemade and homegrown artisan wares to help you fill your holiday shopping lists and Santa's stockings. Handmade treasures await for both young and young at heart. Hot comfort foods and refreshments available. Fun for the whole family - live farm animal display. CFAX Santas Anonymous volunteers will again staff the Gingerbread Playhouse. Drop by and meet the volunteers and tour the Gingerbread Playhouse. Children will enjoy the colouring area or cozying up to the fireplace to read a book. Of course, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be there to listen to Christmas wishes. Photo ops with Santa and the Gingerbread man too! Saturday, November 23 and Sunday, November 24, from 10 am - 4pm both days in the Main Hall and RCMP Barn at the Saanich Fairground (1528 Stelly's Cross Road). Admission $2 a person each day (children 12 and under free). Lots of free parking. No dogs please.
