The annual Holiday Craft Fair — sponsored by the Technology Community Crafters — will take place this year from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. in Lobby 10 on Dec. 17. The craft fair offers a wide assortment of gifts for yourself or for others. The crafters in attendance will feature handmade creations, including fragrant soaps, jewelry, cards, keepsake boxes, bamboo flutes and walking sticks, paper and card boxes, wooden puzzles, traditional stone carvings, metal work, and one-of-a-kind hula hoops. For more information on the fair, contact Brenda Blais at bmblais@mit.edu.
