weekend to rest up before the next shopping event of the season: the annual Yule Mart on Fort Bragg, Nov. 19-21 at the Ritz-Epps Physical Fitness Center. The Holly Day Fair is the largest holiday gift and craft show in eastern North
Carolina. Sponsored by the Junior League of Fayetteville, last year’s fair raised more than $270,000 for community projects. The cost is $8 per day or $12 for sneak-peek shopping the morning of opening day. And new in 2010, extended hours will be offered on Friday. The Yule Mart is sponsored by the Fort Bragg Area Officers’ Spouses Club but is
