American Women’s Club is having American
 Christmas Market
Looking for a festive Christmas shopping experience? Look no further than the AWC’s 2nd annual, distinctively American Christmas market. From handmade knitted products and funky cloth bags to beautiful Christmas stockings and silver jewelry, you’ll be able to find something for everyone on your Christmas gifts list. We will also be selling used books (in English)! There is NO ENTRY FEE.

DATES + TIMES
Saturday, 19 Nov 2016 from 10-16
Sunday, 20 Nov 2016 from 12-16

HOW TO GET THERE + PARKING
The market will be held at the American Lutheran Church, Fritznersgate 15, in Frogner, Oslo. As there is limited parking at the Church, we encourage you to use public transportation. Buses 30 and 31 (and many Bærum buses) stop at Frogner kirke—just one block away.

TAKE YOUR KID’S (OR YOUR OWN) PHOTO WITH SANTA!
Santa Claus will be available for photos at certain times both Saturday and Sunday. Bring your own camera, or we’ll take your/your kid’s picture and send you a digital photo file by email (perfect for your holiday greeting cards)! There is no fee to have your picture taken, but a cash donation (to benefit the Oslo Crisis Center and our scholarship fund) would be much appreciated.

PAYMENT INFO
Please bring cash. You can also pay by debit or credit card—many of our vendors do not have their own card readers, so you can pay those vendors via the AWC card reader at the information table.

10% of all vendor sales, and 100% of the Santa donations, and bake sale and book purchases will go to benefit the Oslo Crisis Center and the AWC Scholarship.

PRAMS + STROLLERS MUST BE PARKED OUTSIDE
Please be aware that prams and strollers cannot be brought into the market, and they must be parked outside the building. To make your shopping experience more enjoyable, representatives from Oslo Sling Library will have a variety of baby slings and carriers available for you to borrow while you are at the market. They will provide instruction so your baby sits properly. For more info on Oslo Sling Library please visit their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/OsloSlingLibrary.
