The Rotary Club of Hammonton Presents WinterFest

The Rotary Club of Hammonton will hold its inaugural Winterfest Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 2–3, at the Our Lady of Mount Carmel fairgrounds, 1 Mount Carmel Ln. in Hammonton. The free event will be open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, with Saturday wrapping up just in time for participants to walk over to the annual Hammonton tree lighting. The centerpiece of WinterFest is a curated craft show. The Rotary Club has gone to great lengths to attract top-quality crafters, giving preference to local talent who will be offering their wears within the comfort of a heated tent. The giant 40 x 120 tent for vendors and Santa will assure that WinterFest is an all-weather event. Guests will discover an assortment of creative, handmade treasures at the vendor showcase, ranging from artisanal ceramics and scented soy candles to personalized gifts. Check out glass items, primitive wood crafts, and distinctive Nativity sets. Experience the charm of vintage jewelry and sublimation-frosted glassware. There will be something for everyone. While you are there make sure you get something to eat from Funtastic Foods and Not Your Mama's Tacos. Or indulge your sweet tooth by sampling cookies, a donuts, or treats dipped in chocolate. Event-goers will have the opportunity to buy holiday wreaths and grave blankets. Santa will make an appearance for photo ops, and there will be games, face painting, crafts and other fun activities for the kids, plus a horse and carriage ride, weather permitting. Admission and parking are free. Donations of unwrapped toys or nonperishable foods are encouraged to benefit local families in need. The Our Lady of Mount Carmel Society has generously agreed to allow use of its carnival grounds, and Main Street Hammonton has recognized WinterFest as a leadup to their beautiful tree-lighting event Saturday night. Winterfest will emphasize bringing the community together. Because it is made possible by sponsors: Ameriprise Financial/Eric Guggenheim and Maple Leaf Physical Therapy, and other sponsors who have chosen to remain anonymous, this alcohol-free event will be less about fundraising, and more about fun, family, and fellowship, providing an opportunity for neighbors to get together. Special thanks to the Kiwanis Club of Hammonton, who are providing a supervised mobile fire pit area where guests of all ages will be able to make s’mores, sit and relax. Several youth service organizations have also stepped forward to provide their assistance. Come to WinterFest to make memories and enjoy holiday time with friends and neighbors.
