The first weekend in December may be your last and best chance to find those unique handcrafted gifts for everyone on your list, as the 27th annual Yuletide in the Country returns to the Event Center at the Hamburg Fairgrounds from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4.
Yuletide in the Country is the area’s largest seasonal artisan market featuring more than 150 predominantly local artisans offering spa-quality bath products, hand-poured aromatic candles, holiday décor, trendsetting jewelry, gourmet food, craft spirits and wine, and holiday gift items galore. Yuletide in the Country offers a remarkable cross-section of gift ideas.
“This show really gives you one last opportunity to find gifts that are special, handmade and unique,” said Dan Kaczynski of Premier Promotions, organizer of the event. “Shopping the days and weeks before Christmas can be so stressful, but Yuletide is casual and unhurried so you really can enjoy yourself and make your gift purchases meaningful.”
In keeping with the tradition of all of Premier Promotions events, local charities will also be on hand raising money for their worthy causes. Hamburg/Eden Animal Rescue (H.E.A.R.T.) will hold a raffle of handmade gifts donated by participating artisans.
Tickets to Yuletide in the Country will be available at the door for $6 per person, with children under 12 free.
For more than 37 years, Premier Promotions has produced high-quality, extremely successful artisan events including Springtime in the Country, Christmas in the Country, Christmas in the Country Rochester and Yuletide in the Country. Last year, more than 100,000 visitors attended these events purchasing more than $8 million in high-quality, handcrafted goods from juried artists and artisans. These events have helped raise more than $2 million for Western New York charities.
