{‘Neath the Wreath} Our Favorite Holiday Gift Market is BACK IN PERSON!

    This post has been sponsored by the Junior League of Collin County to bring you details on their upcoming ‘Neath the Wreath Holiday Market.

    After a virtual interlude in 2020, JLCC’s ‘Neath the Wreath Holiday Gift Market is back in person at a NEW venue for 2021. We’re excited to tell you about the 25th anniversary of this amazing fundraiser!

    NOVEMBER 11-14, 2021

    One of our very favorite ways to usher in the holidays is ‘Neath the Wreath, the largest annual fundraiser for the Junior League of Collin County. All the proceeds go back into the community, funding projects that directly benefit Collin County families (something increasingly pressing after these past couple of years).

    The Junior League of Collin County is an organization of women committed to promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.

    SO WHAT EXACTLY IS ‘NEATH THE WREATH?

    It’s a fabulous 4-day holiday gift market with over 130 merchants from Texas and beyond. You’ll find the best unique holiday and home décor, ladies’ clothing, accessories, gifts, jewelry, children’s items, gourmet food, and MORE. They strive to have something for everyone on your list— teachers, babysitters, mom, grandma, kids…gifts for all ages! It’s a really fun way to give back to our community.
