Park parent Carbery Morrow will exhibit at the craft fair

This holiday season, if your goal is to "buy local," consider shopping at one of the holiday bazaars or craft fairs at area private schools. In addition to handmade crafts, most fairs feature greens, baked goods and gifts to fit every budget. Visits from Santa and holiday music are sure to get shoppers in the spirit of the season.
