On Saturday, Dec. 3, from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the First Congregational Church of West Tisbury is holding its annual Christmas Faire featuring fresh, hand-made wreaths, table arrangements and decorated table trees. The event always draws a large crowd as the church ladies are masters at what they do. For weeks they wander the woods and back roads of the Vineyard, visiting secret spots to find the freshest and most beautiful greens. Then, they sit together at long tables creating the wreaths in a community that ranges from 90-year-olds to twenty-somethings.

No home is complete without a kissing ball made of boxwood greens.

The event is a major fundraiser for the church. Those in the know, pre-order. Call 508-693-2842.
