The much anticipated Rockport Garden Club’s Holly Berry Fair will take place at the West Rockport Baptist Church, 545 Park Street, West Rockport, on Saturday morning, December 2nd, from 8 AM to Noon. The proceeds fund the beautification of Rockport and the Club’s scholarship program.
You won’t want to miss it. We ask that you please enter through the parking lot side door. Ample parking is available, so bring the whole family and your neighbors.
There is something for everyone – delectable baked goods, a craft table with hand-made gifts and ornaments, beautiful costume jewelry, decorated wreaths and trees, hand-painted furniture, lovely hostess gifts, freshly decorated, fragrant holiday greenery. The Cook’s Corner will feature kitchen/dining china and glassware, and the Second Look table will offer lightly loved gifts and household items. The art card table will feature hand-crafted holiday cards that are a gift in themselves. Everything you need for the holidays will be all in one place.

The proceeds from the Fair support the Club’s scholarships for outstanding local students and the maintenance of many of Rockport’s public gardens, keeping them fresh and lovely for locals and visitors to enjoy. You can see the Club’s handiwork at Andre the Seal in Harbor Park, Rockport Post Office, West Rockport Post Office and Fire Station, The Opera House, The Camden/Rockport Arch, the flower boxes at Aldermere Farm, Memorial Park Monument, Mary Lea Park, Goose River Footbridge, Goose River Upper Bridge. The Rockport Garden Club provides Christmas wreaths and garlands throughout the area in late November.
