The Bristol Historical Society’s Annual Christmas Craft Fair this Saturday will feature numerous vendors and a variety of Christmas gifts, says president Maya Bringe.

The craft fair will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., indoors, at the Bristol Historical Society at 98 Summer St. It will feature more than 20 vendors and will also include raffles and a bake sale. The Bristol Historical Society will be festively decorated for the occasion.

“In addition to vendors, we’ll have a White Elephant Sale with gently used Christmas décor donated by Bristol Historical Society members and friends. We’ll also have a teacup raffle. Visitors will be able to purchase a raffle ticket when they come in for a chance at winning some nicer items,” said Bringe.

The craft fair will feature a host of different gift types including jewelry, including tack pins, coat pins, semi-precious necklaces and Swarovski Crystal Necklaces.

Artwork for sale will include artist-designed, etched and painted crystal glasses and hand-designed wooden items and vignettes. A photographer will be selling enhanced and colorized nature photos.

There will also be jewelry framed pictures, framed humorous sayings and framed calligraphy with embellishment.
