White Elephant Holiday Shop Opens Friday, Nov. 28!
If you are looking for that special touch for your holiday decorations or a unique gift before the holiday, the BHS White Elephant Holiday Shop will open for the season Friday, November 28th from 10 to 2. This popular part of our Holiday Craft Fair opens early for those who want to get a head start on their shopping and decorations!
The shop features gently used Christmas decorations, china, figurines, garland, wreaths, nutcrackers, stockings, and so much more!
After that, the shop will be open during regular BHS hours until Christmas.
Note: We are also collecting nonperishable food items throughout the holidays for local food pantries. We will grateful accept those donations through during our open hours!

The 2025 BHS Holiday Craft Fair will be held on Saturday, December 6th from 10am to 4pm.

This annual event is great way to usher in the holidays! There will be 20+ crafters/vendors, a bake sale, a teacup raffle, and our popular Christmas Boutique!

The “White Elephant” Christmas Boutique will have a preview sale on Black Friday, the day following Thanksgiving Day from 10am to 2pm.

We always welcome any gently used Christmas-themed items that can be added to the Christmas Boutique inventory.
Donations may be dropped off at BHS during our open hours on Wed. and Sat. from 10am until 2pm. (At this time, we can’t accept artificial trees due to space constraints.) Your patronage and assistance are greatly appreciated, and we look forward to another successful event this year.
Mark your calendar and plan to attend our fair, a traditional favorite at BHS!
