Residents will have a chance to purchase hand-crafted items made by Andover seniors at the Holly Jolly Holiday Fair on Friday, Dec. 4.
The event is the only fund raiser of the year for the Andover Senior Center, and all proceeds go into programs, allowing the center to offer forums and specialty programs at very low or no cost, according to Karen Payne-Taylor. The Dec. 4 fair is open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Andover Senior Center, 30 Whittier Court, ground floor.
The offerings are expected to include hand-crafted gift items, quilted purses and runners, a variety of seasonal decoration, arrangements, live plants, knitted goods, baked goods and a huge assortment of costume jewelry.
