Second Annual AngelFest November 13, 2010

Mark your calendars for our second annual AngelFest, which will be held on Saturday, November 13, 2010. Our angels on either side of the church entrance, Christa and Crystal, will be helping to advertise our big

This year will be featuring a half off Christmas Room, an Antiques Room, a Ladies Boutique (complete with dressing room), Men’s clothing, the always-popular Bake Table, Soup-To-Go (that always sells out), and possibly some other offerings.

Our small café will offer inside or outside seating and will feature salads, sandwiches and soup. More information will be forthcoming. If you always wanted to “play retail”, get involved for the first time, help out a little or help out a lot, the AngelFest can use your talents. Start looking through your closets and around the home for unused furniture. Until specific plans are in place, contact Janet Grashof, Susie Banet, Erika Lindsay or Nancy Pollock to be a part of the day.
