Susie Smith and Ken Hughes, co-organizers of Christmas in Essex have begun work to prepare for this year’s event which will take place on December 8, 9 and 10 (with the 9th being the main event). www.christmasinessex.com is the main website for all details related to the event.

If you are interested in being a vendor (or know someone who may be interested), please direct them to: christmasinessex.com/vendors.html for complete details on how to register.

We need help from community members to volunteer for and/or organize activities for Christmas in Essex. If you have an idea for an activity that you would consider leading or you can help out for a couple of hours on December 9, please let us know. Craft ideas, food ideas, decorating ideas, activities for kids ideas … all go along way to making the most of this annual event. Please email us at info@christmasinessex.com.

We are also seeking a sponsor(s) for a very popular gingerbread man activity. If you or someone you know is interested in supporting this event, please send an email to info@christmasinessex.org. Many thanks!
