All locations offer a wide variety of gifts, decorations and collectibles, including wooden bowls, bath products, books, candles, dry flowers, clothing, holiday decorations, jewelry, quilts, soft sculpture, wooden toys, hand crafted greeting cards, and much more.

The annual fair is a major fundraiser for the Monson Arts Council as well as several other non-profit groups.
