Thanksgiving is drawing closer and closer, but we think that the spirit of thankfulness should extend beyond just turkey day. Thankfully, we’re not the only ones who think this way! As it happens, there are a few different Thanksgiving events happening in Fond du Lac WI in 2016, and they look like great ways to extend the holiday.
Community Harvest Craft and Vendor Fair
When: November 19, 2016, at 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Where: Lutheran Homes and Health Services
We have already talked a little bit about the annual Community Harvest Craft and Vendor Fair in Fond du Lac, but it’s worth going over again. You’ll be able to find more than 30 different vendors set up on the ground floor of the Lutheran Home, which is a great opportunity to do some early Christmas shopping. If you’re there during lunch, you’ll be able to purchase some food. Otherwise, there is also going to be a bake sale throughout the day. Door prizes and basket raffles offer chances to win special prizes, as well!
