Sharing the Delights of a Handmade Holiday
Berkshire Waldorf School families come together to create a festive Holiday atmosphere, transforming every room in the Grades School building into magical realms to explore, making tiny gifts for the Little Peoples’ Shop and the Pocket Fairy, and knitting squares that will form TWO unique Community Afghans this year, part of a selection of items available to win in the Raffle Room.
For the Child in Us All
Early Childhood teachers will perform “Spindlewood,” a puppet play featuring handcrafted puppets, with three performances during the day. Other Fair highlights include the Children’s Craft Room where youngsters can make their own presents, “Sweet Spot,” an interactive game with live musicians (and desserts for prizes!), magic shows with special guest Jadeena Magic, and the Pocket Fairy, whose many pockets are filled with small surprises.
Treats for All Ages
Revel in the premium local goods and services at the Fair’s Silent and Online Auctions. Shop for warm handmade items in the Handcraft Room, and join the grownup fun at the Silent Auction, centerpiece of the Fair, with one-of-a-kind toys and gifts. The Berkshire Country Store stocks artisanal and gourmet treats, and our lunchroom, Rudy’s Diner, serves lunch, warm drinks and homemade desserts. Plus, enter for a chance to win a $1000 gift card from local food purveyors Guido’s or the Berkshire Food Coop.
Berkshire Waldorf School’s curriculum of academic excellence activated with movement, music, outdoor learning and the arts has been preparing students to achieve their full potential for 51 years. The school is now welcoming Fall 2023 applications for students 18 months through Eighth Grade, and offers generous tuition support for qualified students.
Thanks for joining us! All Fair proceeds benefit the programs and students of the Berkshire Waldorf School.
