Three Things to Do in Milton This Weekend

Editor's Note: Every Friday Milton Patch will be giving you a few can't miss events in town over the weekend. 

This weekend has several events that will get you in the holiday spirit and help you knock out some of the shopping you need to finish, while assisting a good cause or two.

On Friday night from 6 to 9 p.m. will host a night of shopping. The fundraiser event will feature vendors from all over New England with items like, jewelry, pocketbooks, belts, skin products, housewares and other holiday gifts. The fee to shop is just $2 and entrants receive a raffle ticket with admission.

On Saturday and Sunday,  will host a Fair Trade Handcraft Sale. The sale will feature a range of home items, jewelry and gifts from different countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The sale will run from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday and 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m on Sunday.

 Also on Sunday, the DCR Park Rangers, the Blue Hills TrailWatch volunteers and the New England Mountain Bike Association will provide a great opportunity to give to the less fortunate this holiday season and enjoy the end of fall outdoors. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. visitors are encouraged to drop off new, unwrapped toys at the  welcome center for the Interfaith Social Services, which will be distributed to children on the south shore.

To bring the Blue Hills Reservation into the event, a guided mountain bike ride will leave at 10 a.m. At 1 p.m. a guided hike will be held. For more information on the DCR Holiday Toy Drive and Mountain Bike Ride or Hike, please call the DCR at 617-698-1802.
