The Spirit of Giving: Nashua's First Church Unveils Its Annual Holiday Fair and Silent Auction

Ah, the holidays! A time for warmth, for community, and for — let's be honest — finding just the right unique gift that screams "you thought of me!" Well, mark your calendars, because Nashua's First Church is gearing up to deliver all that and more with its much-anticipated annual Holiday Fair and Silent Auction, set for Saturday, December 2nd. It's not just an event; it's a cherished tradition, a vibrant gathering of folks looking for cheer, connection, and perhaps a few treasures.

From 9 in the morning until 2 in the afternoon, the historic halls of First Church, nestled right there at 1 Concord Street, will simply buzz with activity. You could say it’s a one-stop shop for everything delightful this festive season. Imagine strolling through aisles brimming with beautifully handcrafted items — the kind of gifts that truly feel personal, made with care and a certain local charm. These aren’t your run-of-the-mill, mass-produced trinkets; oh no, these are pieces with soul.

And then there's the bake sale. Honestly, what's a holiday fair without the intoxicating aroma of freshly baked goods? Picture tables laden with cookies, pies, and cakes, all baked by talented hands right here in the community. Perfect for sharing, for gifting, or, you know, just for a little well-deserved indulgence after all that thoughtful shopping. But wait, there's more to tempt you! The silent auction, a perennial favorite, promises an array of exciting items, big and small. You might just snag that perfect, unexpected present for a loved one — or, let’s be real, for yourself!

But the fun doesn't stop there. Be sure to explore "Grandma's Attic," a charming corner filled with "new-to-you" treasures. It's a delightful treasure hunt, really, where forgotten gems find new homes, often at quite a bargain. You never know what quirky antique or charming collectible you might unearth. And all that shopping and treasure-hunting can certainly work up an appetite. Fear not! A delicious luncheon will be served, offering up hearty chowder, warm chili, and an assortment of sandwiches — the perfect fuel to keep your holiday spirit soaring.

Beyond the joy of discovery and the delicious treats, this fair holds a deeper purpose. Every purchase, every bid, every delicious bite helps to support the vital missions and ongoing operations of the First Church in Nashua. It's a wonderful opportunity to contribute to a cornerstone of the community while soaking in the festive atmosphere. So, come on down! Bring your friends, bring your family, and immerse yourselves in the genuine spirit of the season.
