Taste of the Holidays and Craft Market

This festive, charitable event is brought to you by The High Country Spotlight and Shopper and The Grove. Taste of the Holidays is a fundraiser for The Abraham Connection, which serves Delta County’s unhoused population with a mission to provide emergency food and shelter to those in need by offering a hand up, not a hand out.

Admission is free to attend the event, but if you would like to take advantage of the delectable fare, attendees can purchase tickets at the door good for sampling homemade cookies, candies, breads, desserts and more! Several local professional bakers and caterers will also be on hand to sample, as well as a hot chocolate and cider bar.

Kick off your holiday shopping by visiting the Craft Market in the courtyard of The Grove featuring a host of area artisans and craftspeople. Find that perfect gift for the holidays and support local artists!

There will be an ornament decorating table for kids, sponsored by Families Plus. Santa will be making an appearance between 2 pm and 4 pm, so kids can get in a good word ahead of the holidays. Edoras Stables will be giving carriage rides around the property from 1:30 to 4:30, courtesy of Delta Hardware. Cost to ride the carriage is one ticket ($1) per rider, and all proceeds benefit The Abraham Connection.

Who says you can’t have dessert before dinner? This event is open to everyone and Roll Out the Dough contestants are especially encouraged to attend as we will be announcing the winners of the contest and awarding prizes. Come down to The Grove on Saturday, November 16 to support a good cause and enjoy a little early holiday cheer – your taste buds will thank you.
