Our pick:

Where: 

When: Saturday from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. 

Why go: The concept of the Alternative Fair is to ease your holiday stress, help raise funds for non-profit groups, and give a gift that is meaningful. There will be 55 vendors offering unique gifts, and the groups get to keep 100 percent of the profits. A sampling of items you can purchase include: Creative Kits for Children (Arts & Scraps), handcrafted jewelry (Hope Endeavors), holiday cards (Forgotten Harvest and The Pink Fund), or decorative baskets (The Salvation Army). The Fair will also have African crafts and fabrics, Alpaca wool scarves, handmade gifts, baked goods and much more.  

Check back in with the Farmington/Farmington Hills Patch tomorrow for more weekend-things-to-do options.
