St. Anne’s Bellview is looking forward to another successful Christmas Market. Christmas has always been a special time at St. Anne’s. A perfect setting to come shop with our Christmas decorations, music and visits from Santa adding to the atmosphere for finishing Holiday shopping. The first weekend in December should be a great time to get in the spirit of the season and shop for all of those people on their lists. Our 20,000 square foot Family Life Center provides a great indoor market place for our exhibitors. 

 

Exhibitor check-in and setup will be on Friday, December 4th  from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm in the Family Life Center. Exhibitors will be given an additional packet of information and booth space location.

 

The doors will open to you at 8:00 am on December 5th  for finishing touches.  All exhibitors are expected to stay for the entire length of the market.  No breakdowns are allowed until Sunday, December 6th at 4:00 pm.

 

Our Scouts assist the exhibitors all during the weekend and their parents man the kitchen preparing and selling meals, snacks and drinks to support their activities.

 

St. Anne’s is very community oriented and has kept the St. Vincent DePaul Food Pantry serving the less fortunate of our area. The Food Pantry provides food assistance to approximately 400 families each month. With this in mind we ask the public to bring non-perishable items for the Food Pantry and they receive an extra door prize ticket.

 

Mark your calendars and send in your application to be a part of the St. Anne’s Christmas Market Arts and Crafts Weekend.

Booth spaces will be available in 10 X 10 ($100.00), 10 X 15 ($150.00), and 10 X 20 ($200.00) feet sizes. Two folding chairs will be supplied with each booth space. Booth locations will be assigned by a committee. Tables, shelves, displays, etc. must be provided by the exhibitors. Tables must be covered and should be attractively displayed. Electricity is available for an additional charge of $10.00. Exhibitors must provide their own change, bags, extension cords, cord covers, etc.
