The Return of a Christmas Tradition

It’s Back!
Yes friends neighbors after last year’s pandemic related sabbatical the nearly legendary and consistently packed full of surprises Jingle Mingle has returned. 
This is one of the premier shows of its type in the region as vendors and shoppers form the perfect storm in what has become a yearly ritual for those looking to cross off a bit of their Christmas list in a one stop shopping extravaganza.
Whether you’re a JM veteran  who arrives at the opening to ensure the items from your favorite mini merchants  will be plentiful or a newbie to the event who is in search of gifting  ideas, this is the show for you.
Here are the details courtesy of our friends from the Fremont Area Chamber.
