Holiday Magic and Craft Fair: Thanks to YOU , We Made Winter Shine!

A Heartfelt Thank You to All Who Made It Possible!


On December 7th, Newark Valley came alive with their annual Holiday Magic celebration, coordinated by the Newark Valley Historical Society and the Village of Newark Valley. Many volunteers, businesses, school groups and organizations come together from our area to create this magical event with scenes comparable to a great Hallmark movie! Newark Valley Community Connection contributed to the event by hosting our annual Holiday Magic Craft Fair and Basket Raffle, bringing a touch of festive cheer throughout the day, despite the chilly temperatures and snowy weather. The warmth and support from our vendors, donors, volunteers, and attendees were nothing short of magical.


Celebrating Our Craft Vendors

A huge thank-you to the 25 talented crafters who filled our space with creativity, craftsmanship, and holiday spirit. Your dedication and artistry made this event shine, and we deeply appreciate your participation despite the challenging winter weather. We hope you participate in our next Craft Fair this spring, tentatively scheduled for April 5th.


Cake Walk and An Incredible Basket Raffle

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly our phenomenal Cake Walks and Holiday Magic Basket Raffle, featuring an array of thoughtfully curated cakes and prizes donated by generous individuals and organizations. Special thanks go to Jeanine, who organized the raffle with great care, and Sue, who worked tirelessly all day to ensure everything ran smoothly. We also extend our gratitude to the many volunteers who contributed their time and energy to make this event a success.
