The Parents & Teachers of Thorntons Ferry School (PTTF) produce this long-running holiday craft fair at Thorntons Ferry Elementary School in Merrimack, New Hampshire as a school fundraiser. The fair fills the school with local artisans, crafters, and food vendors offering handmade gifts and seasonal goods just before Thanksgiving. The 2025 edition (the 42nd annual) was held November 22 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.; the 2026 date is expected to follow the same Saturday-before-Thanksgiving pattern.
