SHOPS Packag&es Christine Cullinane-Haber has been curating the Sweet Afton Holiday Mini-Market for the past six years. “I wanted to create a market where local artists and designers could sell their work, free of charge—there’s no vendors fee,” she explains. “We have a great ra e during the market,” continues Cullinane- Haber, “in which all proceeds go to Concern Worldwide, a charity that is very dear to us at Sweet Afton. All vendors participating in the market donate one item for the ra e. e prizes are fantastic, and it's for a great cause.” Brunch is served at Sweet Afton as usual, and the bar will o er happy hour drink specials until 5 p.m. is year’s holiday market is going to be on Sunday, Dec. 20, from noon to 5 p.m. It’s the ideal spot for holiday multitasking.
