25th Annual Applefest Craft Fair Will Kick Off Holiday Shopping Season

(Editor's note: The following infomation was submitted by the organizers of the Memorial High School AppleFest Craft Fair.)

Tewksbury The 25th Annual Tewksbury Memorial High School AppleFest Craft Fair will be held on Saturday, Oct. 27 from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at the new Tewksbury Memorial High School located at 320 Pleasant Street in Tewksbury.  This is a fundraiser for the Parent Advisory Council (PAC). and the ALL Night Long Graduation Committee (ANL).

It is a shopping event with a “shop till you drop “  motto. With the holidays at our heels, we will have plenty to offer for decorating and gift-giving.  We will have quality crafters representing all areas of crafts including jewelry, hand knit items, baby clothing, holiday decorations, wood, silk florals, candles, candy and a designated area for a few children’s crafts (for purchase) to make and take home as well as delicious food, raffles and more. The celebration of our 25thAnniversary will feature a cake-cutting ceremony at 1:30 p.m.!

The PAC raises money that benefits student scholarships, the funding of enrichment programs and supplies for the school and teachers. 

The All Night Long (ANL) Graduation Committee raises money that benefits the senior class on the night of graduation.  It is a chaperoned, drug and alcohol-free celebration with food, fun, festivities and friendship. 

We will be serving homemade applecrisp and ice cream – a signature food item sold at the fair, but everything is excellent. There are many local businesses who donate food and other items needed for the fair; their generosity is so greatly appreciated! 

Volunteers are still needed to help this event run smoothly.  Please contact tmhsapplefest@hotmail.com  if you would like to help!
