My Personal Opinion

My personal opinion on hometown gatherings is I love them and usually try to make at least an appearance! I have different feelings about the Christkindl Market that our town had this year. Last year was the first year of this particular gathering. It was fun for a one time deal....but we were turned off for a couple of reasons.

We did not like the fact that they charged each person six dollars just to walk in the door. Why would we want to pay that much for admission if all we wanted to do was eat? Or shop?? I bought a couple of things last year. But our general consensus was that the craft offerings were beautiful....very high-end...but beautiful nonetheless!!

This is not your average small time craft show. The small time crafters...such as myself would never be able to do a show like this as the fee to rent a booth is three hundred bucks!! So, that kind of tells you that the merchants that are selling there are of the upper crust variety.

Based on the pictures that I have looked at from this year's event...they have expanded the event a bit to add some additional food booths and something for the kids to do. If there was not an admission charge, we would have gone!!

The Christkindl Market!

It started out that today was going to be kind of a sad day....storing the Fiero's away for the winter. But, as it turns out....we are only storing my husband's and mine will be staying out for awhile as long as the weather is relatively nice!! Usually when we put them in storage - it kind of signals the beginning of winter....a long, snowy, cold winter.

But...I'm looking forward to today!! Thank heaven our weather is still holding relatively warm...for us....with temps scheduled to be in the fifties! I am off to the Christkindl Market today...as you can see by this newsflash:

Canandaigua,NY – The Granger Homestead and Carriage Museum presents a unique holiday event.

The Second Annual ‘Christkindl Market’ in New York State on Nov. 7 (1-7pmn), Nov. 8 (10-6pm) and Nov. 9 (10-5pm) in Canandaigua, NY.

Picture yourself at an open air European-inspired Christmas market, under large heated festival tents. The smell of roasted nuts, bratwurst, crepes, spiced wine, holiday decorations, unique gift shopping, music, horse-drawn carriage rides, photos with Santa and sleigh and much more….. That’s the spirit of Christkindl Market at the Granger Homestead in Canandaigua, NY.

Yes, indeed, I will have my camera with me and I can assure you that I will be blogging....not LIVE blogging, but blogging nonetheless!! So....look here tomorrow on how the event went! We did not attend last year's, so I am excited to see what it's all about!!

OH! And I should mention that they have over 100 arts and crafts booths....shhhhhh...don't want to mention this one to my husband! Ha!

Have a great Saturday everyone!
