Tips & Advice
- Bring a gift list, because the show sells artwork, holiday crafts, jewelry and ornaments made by local artists and artisans.
- Shop knowing that part of every sale goes to the ongoing restoration of the Merwinsville Hotel, which is run entirely by volunteers.
- Take time to look over the nutcrackers, World's Fair miniatures and Santa Claus collections that fill the hotel for the holidays.
- Make a day of it with a meal in Kent or New Milford, both a short drive from the hotel in Gaylordsville.
- Artists hoping to show should contact the hotel directly, because the shows are juried and booth space offered on Facebook is a scam.
