In the past, the fair has also had a silent auction, a kind of tag sale, self made goods. Please come! You can sample my very own muffins!

Spring Glen Holiday Fair

Spring Glen School is having its first annual Holiday Fair on Friday December 5th at 6:30 to 9:00 PM at the school.

For You Yalie Parents...

Our beloved Toddler Tunes lead singer/guitarist, Robert Messore, is playing a show this weekend for Yale affliated families at the McDougal Center. If you're a Yalie parent, please check it out! Partiularly if your schedule does not allow for Robert's regular Wednesday Toddler Tunes gig. Your kids (and you!) will love it!
