Berkshire-Area Holiday Markets, Fairs and Bazaars 2017

Published on November 10, 2017 By Emily. Updated on November 10, 2017

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…

I’ve already warned Brian that, as of last weekend, I have at least one holiday market event I’m hoping to attend every weekend until Christmas.  I don’t know if all of these bazaars/markets/fairs are a product of life in the Berkshires, or if it’s a product of the time we’re living in, but there are so many events happening.

It’s almost difficult for me to articulate why I love these holiday markets so much.  I do attempt to buy Christmas gifts at them, but there are certainly many items that don’t appeal to me at all.  But I love the feeling of visiting with local merchants, many of whom have worked hard to craft their wares.  It’s such a nice experience to see vendors and neighbors out and about while looking at beautiful products and listening to Christmas music. I’m sure I’m not the only one who adores attending all of these events, so I’m working to help us all out by creating a master list here.

I’ll be updating this post every time I discover a new event.  If you see one I haven’t added, please send it my way!

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

In typical 2020 fashion, I had all kinds of issues getting my Top 9 created this year and this image still has problems. 
But the images are accurate and nicely summarize the year - take out from local establishments (@aokberkshirebbq, @thebreakroomgw, @northadamsfarmersmarket), #RelishmentsBakes projects, the natural beauty of the Berkshires and our successful container garden.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
