HOMETOWN TREATS

Madera Fair has solicited local non-profits and cottage license vendors to sell Madera County treats on the trail. Many non-profits and small cottage businesses have suffered financially this year due to COVID. Here is an opportunity to generate finances to do the work their organizations fund throughout the year. Please consider making a purchase from one or more of the local "shops" along your Hometown Christmas Drive Thru experience. List of goodies and goods coming soon!
