Children can chose to make an assortment of festive crafts at the craft tables, win prizes at a variety of everyone-wins game booths, play in a party bouncer, have their face and hair painted. The whole family will enjoy browsing the sweets and savories at a sumptuous bake sale as well as visiting the various vendors displaying their fabulous wares.
