Each year, our Meadowbrook Waldorf School community comes together to design, plan and execute a Holiday Faire event unlike any other in the area. ?I am happy to announce that it grows each year in size and stature as throngs of visitors flock from the tri-state area and beyond to share our magical weekend.
?
With enormous heart and soul, we strive to bring visitors to our campus so that we can inspire them with the ?feeling? of what this amazing season is really?all about.
It?s hard to imagine that there was a time in my adult life that I had begun dread this seasonal celebration. I was highly resentful of the garish display of premature holiday ?shlock? in the aisles of every store I happened to go in months ahead of schedule. The homogenous blanket of ho hum sameness seemed as empty and soul-less as the eyes of the mass produced ?gifts? ?that sat waiting forlornly for salvation from instant gratification, ?only to be then discarded into the pile of ever growing ?stuff? our culture seems driven to accumulate. ?The ?insanity? of this phenomenon depressed and saddened me, and I know ?now; from the crowds that come and share in our festivities, ?that I was not alone. I think we all long to add the magic and meaning back into this?occasion- and I gratefully found it waiting in the hallways and outdoors of our school as it was temporarily transformed to capture the authentic light of the holidays, I urge you to come, bring your family or friends and join us to share in this wonderous occasion.
Important Details:
November 17th: ?Adults only evening; join us at 6:00 PM- 9:00 PM.

This section is a great addition for the hard to buy ?tween? or teen in your life, the antique collector, or super funky fresh individual who can appreciate the up-cycled nature of this type of gift.
