Dec. 7 and 8 may be your best chance to shop with meaning and find unique handcrafted gifts for everyone on your list, as the 30th annual Yuletide in the Country Artisan Market returns to the Event Center at the Hamburg Fairgrounds from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
Yuletide in the Country is one of the area’s largest seasonal artisan markets. The event features more than 150 predominantly local artisans featuring 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 those gifts that are special, handmade and unique,” said Dan Kaczynski of Premier Promotions, organizers of the event. “Every artisan has a story about their work and because of this, every gift is meaningful.”
In keeping with tradition, 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 are available at the door and are $7 per person with children under 12 admitted free.
For more than 40 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 120,000 visitors attended these events, purchasing more than $8 million in goods from juried artists and artisans. These events have helped raise more than $4 million for Western New York charities.
