Auxiliary To Host 25th Craft Show By Dayna M. Reidenouer

The women’s auxiliary of St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church, 2111 Millersville Pike, Lancaster, has been offering holiday shopping opportunities since 1995. The group’s 25th annual Christmas craft show and sale will feature more than 70 vendors and will take place at the church on Saturday, Dec. 7, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Event coordinator Jean Marconi stated that inclusion in the show is restricted to noncommercial vendors, and she tries not to duplicate crafts. For example, while there will be several jewelry vendors, the components, shapes, and designs of their creations are different. Along with jewelry, the types of items offered at the show will include stained glass, wooden ornaments, baskets from Africa,

handwoven towels, handmade soaps, alpaca items, Christmas décor, puzzle balls, rustic crafts, Old World Santas, potpourri and other floral products, doll beds and clothing, dog scarves, etched glass, pottery, quilted linens, feather trees, painted slates and glassware, hair accessories, nut butters, clay flowers, and more. The only exception to the handmade rule is made for the Lancaster Public Library, which sells new and used books in one of the church’s classrooms. The craft show will fill seven classrooms, two hallways, two lobbies, and the gymnasium. Vendors will be set up on both the first and second floors of the church. The facility does not have an elevator, but the outside entrances to both levels are wheelchair accessible. Parking and admission will be free of charge. See St. Philip Craft Show pg 2
