9th Elves Fair In Newtown This Month

The Elves Fair will be in full swing again this year on Saturday, November 20, at Newtown Congregational Church House, 41-A Main Street in Newtown. It will be presented from 11 am to 3 pm. Admission and parking are free.

The fair is hosted by the Housatonic Valley Waldorf School Association.

A charming alternative to the usual commercial fare, the Elves Fair features Papa Elves’ wooden toys, handmade, natural material crafts, clothing, toys and gifts such as finger puppets, roving angels and dolls. There will be strolling musicians weaving their way throughout the crowd as fairgoers browse through the display of distinctive handcrafted objects made by top quality artisans from throughout New England.

For children, the ever-popular Elves Workshop will keep them busy as elves, creating their very own handmade, artistic creations including beeswax candles, decorative candleholders and much more. Also back by popular demand is the colorful Pocket Man, sporting pockets full of surprises for children.

The food served at the Elves Fair is also in keeping with the wholesome nature of the event. Fairgoers can enjoy a gourmet lunch of natural, healthful favorites such as hearty soups and salads, whole grain breads, sandwiches, baked goods and cider.

The Elves Fair is one of the biggest fund-raisers for the not-for-profit Housatonic Valley Waldorf School Association, which offers Waldorf-inspired schooling for children in kindergarten and grades 1 through 6.
