closeChurch will sell art, handiwork
St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Hillsborough will hold its first Festival of the Society Tree from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
FeST is modeled after Christmas festivals of the 19th century Ladies Sewing Society, when needlework was sold to raise money for the community. On sale will be handmade items, artwork, food, decorations, seeds and plant cuttings. Seasonal music will be performed. Proceeds will support organizations addressing needs for food, shelter and clothing in Orange County.
