Zion Lutheran Plans Craft Show

Patty Williams, one of the organizers of the Zion Lutheran Church Holiday Craft Show, carefully arranged a display table of holiday decorations to be sold at the event. Among the creative pieces were replicas of snowmen, Santa Claus, and moose. Colors ranged from burlap brown to shimmering green and gold.

This year's bazaar will be held at the church, 18 Quarry Road, Leola, on Saturday, Dec. 4, from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. "We are having crafts, a bake sale, and the cookie walk," said Williams, who hopes to have up to 20 vendors displaying items for sale.

Among the many craft items that will be available for purchase in addition to holiday crafts are woodcrafts, home decor, jewelry, clothing accessories, wall hangings, and moisturizing products.

The cookie walk, which has long been a tradition at the bazaar, will begin at 8:30 a.m. and continue until the cookies are gone. A cookie decorating area and a special shopping area for children will also be offered.

Vendors and church members will provide donated items for door prizes, and door prize winners will be chosen every half hour.

To appease the appetites of hungry attendees, food items will be available for purchase at the show. Williams said that vegetable soup, chicken corn noodle soup, hot dogs and sauerkraut will all be sold.

Past craft shows have raised $2,500, which was donated to local organizations such as Lutheran Disaster Relief. Williams said Lutheran Disaster Relief has again been chosen to receive the funds this year.
