Every year, Epiphany volunteers, local artists and crafts people come together to create, cook, organize, serve and knit to make this a festive event supporting over 30 outreach programs. Preparations ramp up in November when parishioners of all ages gather to help peel apples at Epiphany's potluck supper and on Veteran's Day where older children help to crank out the pies. It takes a village to peel the apples, to mix the cinnamon filling, to crimp the crust, that make 100 pies, to sell at the fair. Visitors are welcome to enjoy shopping from beautifully crafted knits including our popular American Girl doll clothes, baby shower gifts and clothing, mittens, hats, jewelry, china, scarves, rare white elephant finds, home décor collectibles, and unique gifts from Haiti, Palestine, Honduras and around the world. Our colorfully handcrafted Epiphany heart kits, stuffed and ready to hang on trees around town, will brighten up yours or a friend's yard during the cold winter months. We will also be raffling off a variety of unique gifts you'll love to keep or give as a gift, including a completely edible, 18" high Santa's workshop gingerbread house. Members of the parish offer a generous selection of delicious home-baked goods including the famous Epiphany apple pies, chocolate sauces, candies, cakes and chutneys. Bring your family by for lunch to enjoy our signature tomato or butternut squash soup, artisan grilled cheese sandwich and Caesar salad with carrot cake or apple crisp for dessert at the Gourmet Café. The fair benefits numerous Epiphany charities including local missions like the Council for Social Concern, Meals on Wheels, Winchester Got Lunch and Habitat for Humanity, our work in Boston at Rosie's Place and the Blackstone Elementary School Library and our global educational and health care work in Honduras and Haiti. The fair is located @ 70 Church Street. For more information check out our website @ www.3crowns.org or call 781-729-1922.
