The Sunshine Club for Children annual Holiday Market will be quite an adventure for those who attend this year, and chairperson Peggy Kaufman and her crew have done all they can to make it comfortable and convenient for you to attend.
The one-day show is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3, at the Shrine Center, 586 Main St., Bangor.
Proceeds from the event benefit the Sunshine Club’s Transportation Fund for Children to the Shriners Burn Unit in Boston or the Orthopedic Hospital in Springfield, Mass.
Due to construction around the Holiday Market site, a courtesy shuttle bus will run from the Shrine show to the shows at Bass Park so that parking will not be a problem.
