Canterbury Woods Civic Association

The Canterbury Woods Swim and Racquet club (CWSC) located at 5101 Southampton Dr,  in Annandale, VA is excited to tell you about the first ever CWSC Market Day coming on Sunday, April 11 from 10am-4pm. This is a fund-raising event for the pool and is sponsored by Chris Bauernshub from the Bauernshub Team Real Estate.
We will have a parking lot full of a wide variety of local vendors including vintage home décor, handmade fine art and craft items, home improvement specialists, bike repairs on site, independent home businesses, food, a beer garden, local non profit organizations, raffles and more… There really is something for everyone!
We hope you’ll come spend a couple hours supporting these amazing local businesses, have some lunch, and while you’re at it, consider purchasing some pool spirit wear and taking a chance at the great raffles – all money raised goes directly to funding the much needed roof and door replacement for the main pool building.

Behind the scenes: each year judges drive around CW and take copious notes, checking out the festive decorations. We like to use different judges each year to get a fresh take with the selections. Generally, we try not to have a house win first-prize two years in a row (share the joy!) In summary, many of our residents consistently do a terrific job each December, and we thank those of you who participate for the warmth, sparkle, and fun that you share with us. 

Notes from out front: 

*The four 1^st prize winners have a sign in their front yard to designate their exalted status.

*Gift card prizes are awarded by mail — except for 1^st prize which is personally delivered by a team of Clydesdales…or one of the judges, depending on what’s available. 

*Kudos to those of you who make your decorations; the rest of us are impressed and wish we knew how to operate a jig saw…

*Inflatables are VERY popular and provide a lot of entertainment, especially when they attempt to take flight on a windy day.

*One family added MUSIC this year! (See 1^st place/Best in Show) Delightful!
