At the culmination of the fair they presented a gift of $100 to Debbie Melvin, center, as a thank-you to the museum volunteers for the work of preserving the heritage of the area. The Kings, who own the Honeycomb Depot on the Station Road in Littleton sold honey and primitive items for the home. Several hundred

shoppers enjoyed a variety of wares being offered by nearly two-dozen artisans. Shoppers also enjoyed a visit from Santa, freshly fried doughnuts and baked Maine potatoes with a choice of toppings. Plans are being made for another fair next year.
