Seasonal Crafts, Sweets Just Around the Corner

 

Seasonal crafts, baked goods, and lots of revelry highlight the dozens — if not hundreds — of community bazaars and holiday ‘bake sales’ held throughout the Root River Valley each December.

Be sure to take advantage of these once-a-year opportunities in YOUR COMMUNITY. They’re a chance to visit with friends, sample tasty sweets and maybe even help you check a few more things off your gift list.

But more than anything, these gatherings are about the people and their shared seasonal joy — as experienced by John Weiss during his 2023 visit to Preston’s Christ Lutheran Church Fair & Bake Sale. Smile along with his Root River Current article, Holiday Craft Fairs and Bake Sales Build Community.

By the way, this year’s fourth annual 2024 Craft Fair & Bake Sale hosted by Christ Lutheran Church in Preston will be held Saturday, December 7 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Enjoy the holidays!
