Attention holiday shoppers who like to keep things local: two chances are coming up this weekend to do just that.

This year's By Hand holiday gift show will take place at Ashawagh Hall in Springs on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., featuring fused glass, knits and felted wool, wood crafts, sea glass, soaps and skin-care products, mosaics, original jewelry, ceramics, honey, and more. Information is available from Aimee at [email protected].

East Hampton Airport in Wainscott will host a holiday craft fair on Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. in one of its hangars. The fair will feature more than 25 artists, artisans, purveyors of fine food, and other local small businesses. For the kids, there will be crafts and pictures with Santa Claus.

Slow Start at New Gosman’s

In some ways, Gosman’s Dock, one of Montauk’s few remaining family-owned and operated businesses until its October 2024 sale, closely resembles the complex of restaurants and shops long revered by locals and visitors alike. In other ways, though, it is markedly different under its new ownership.
