Holiday Craft Fair brings food, gifts and more to Fitchburg

Sizer School's fourth annual Holiday Craft Fair will bring more than 50 vendors, food, gifts and a fundraising effort for student activities to Fitchburg on Nov. 14. The free event will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Sizer School, 500 Rindge Road, according to a community announcement. Vendors will be spread across two floors, with offerings including homemade chocolates, gluten-free bakery items, earrings, candles and comics. The fair is organized by Sizer School's Student Ambassadors and raises money for their student activities fund. “We have roughly 300 to 350 families attending Sizer each year,” said Lindsay Alweiss, Student Ambassador Advisor. “Our student leaders host events and activities all year long at NO COST to students. All students. Price tags and fees should not be barriers keeping students from joining in on all of the fun - and we have a lot of it.” Alweiss said fundraising makes those activities possible and called the Craft Fair the group's biggest event of the year. Admission is free, though students will collect donations at the door. Parking and Vendor Bingo at the Sizer School Craft Fair Parking will be available on site or across the rotary at Seven Hills.
