NK Holiday Market at NKHS on Nov. 14

The New Kent Holiday Market at New Kent High School (7365 Egypt Road, New Kent) will take place on Saturday, November 14, 9:00 to 11:30 a.m.

We had such a fun time at our trunk-or-treat on Halloween at the Farmers Market that we plan to do it again at the Holiday Market - but Christmas-style!

Parents - bring the kiddos and visit the fluorescent green New Kent County tent on Nov. 14 first to pick up your very own stocking to stuff! Vendors will have candy/stickers/small items for the kids.

You can also make an ornament with New Kent Parks & Recreation, get Brunswick stew from the Providence Forge Ruritan Club, and shop local with over 20 vendors - that’s right we said over TWENTY!
