Zion Schedules Holiday Craft Show And Cookie Walk By Ann Mead Ash
Zion Lutheran Church, 18 Quarry Road, Leola, is planning a Holiday Craft Show and Cookie Walk for Saturday, Dec. 7, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The event is a longstanding Christmas tradition. This year’s show will include a number of local vendors selling a variety of craft items. “More than 20 vendors will have displays this year,” said organizer Patty Williams, who listed greenery, arrangements, moisturizing products, holiday crafts, home décor, jewelry, clothing accessories, doll clothes, and wall hangings among the items that would be available for purchase. The cookie walk has long been a popular part of the show. Williams noted that each participant will receive a glove and a box to fill with homemade
cookies to take home. The cookie walk will begin at 9 a.m. and continue until all the cookies have been sold. 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. Williams noted that Santa Clauses and snowmen will be among the prizes. Food available for purchase at the show will include chicken corn soup made by members of the Bareville Fire Company Ladies Auxiliary, vegetable soup, pulled pork, and hamburger barbecue. A bake sale will also be held. Last year’s craft show raised about $2,000, which was donated to local fire and ambulance companies as well as Lutheran Disaster Relief. Readers who would like to know more about the event may visit www.zionleola.org or call 717-656-9200.
