It’s not even Thanksgiving, but three traditional pre-holiday sales take place in Southborough this Saturday, November 19th.
You can take advantage of these sales to buy your Thanksgiving desserts, accessories for upcoming parties, knit hats/scarves to keep warm this winter, and holiday decorations. Plus, do a little early Christmas shopping.
[Editor’s Note: If you were waiting to shop for baked goodies at Assabet’s annual event, don’t. The school won’t be holding it this year. So make the most of other options below!]
The First Community Church of Southborough annual Pie Sale will be held from 8:00 a.m. to about noon outside of Mauro’s Village Cafe downtown.
They will be selling a large selection of pies, breads, and other homemade baked goods available just in time for Thanksgiving.
