Alburgh Announces First Annual 'Holiday Hop'

Tired of the malls? Hate large crowds? Dread the hassle of having to think up unique gifts for Aunt Sally? All your troubles just disappeared. Come to the 'Holiday Hop' in Alburgh on Saturday, Dec. 4. The organizations in town have planned a delightful day and plenty of opportunities to find something special for your family and friends, while contributing to the local economy and helping your neighbors.

Your first stop- the school. Parent groups will be hosting a Holiday Gift Boutique with assorted gifts, foods and decorations to brighten your home during the Christmas Season, as well as a Chinese auction complete with items to enrich your Holidays. A delicious home-made Soup lunch, seasonal snacks and a bake sale, will be available to sustain you while you shop. Then 'hop' over to the library to browse through their 'Snowy' White Elephant and book sale. If the little ones are along for the ride, 'hop' by the Parent & Alburgh Family Center and bring your camera. Santa will be waiting to help create the smiles you'll want to remember.

Continue your 'Hop' to local merchants who are planning special events like an opportunity to 'Decorate Your Own Wreath', or to shop at a 'Local Artisan Fair' while offering you special holiday merchandise, unique gifts and of course, trees, wreaths and other holiday decorations to make your home cheery. Maps for all locations will be available at the school.
