Tips & Advice
- Go to the Christmas Bake Sale in the Forge early, because it runs only until the baked goods sell out.
- Bid on the gift baskets in the Theater early in the day, because the silent auction closes before the rest of the market.
- Go down to the lower level of Gardens West for the Wood Shop sale, which is easy to miss from the main market.
- Save time for the train room, which is part of the day along with shopping, entertainment and food.
