It’s a local holiday tradition now in its 21st year — Oakton Church of the Brethren’s Christmas Craft Show! We are now taking crafter registrations and there’s room for more crafters’ wares. The three-day show is consignment-shop style, staffed by church volunteers, freeing crafters to do another show that same weekend. Show hours will be from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on both Thursday, Nov. 20 and Friday, Nov. 21, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 22. We actively publicize the event and our show’s bake sale and homemade soup and sandwich lunch also help draw a crowd.
A unique feature of our show is that, besides crafts, we also sell craft supplies. Every year many of our registered crafters consign or donate craft supplies to our craft supply sales room.
A $20 crafter sign-up fee and 10 percent of crafter sales go toward church projects, such as the fund for repayment of the church’s disability access renovation loan.
Would you or someone you know be interested in including crafts at the show? Contact the church office for more information at 703-281-4411 or .
