It’s not too early to think about holiday gifts for friends and family, and the 23rd annual Wonderful World of Christmas craft show is a good place to start shopping from 10am to 4pm, this Sunday, November 13th, at the Genoa-Kingston High School just west of downtown Genoa on Route 72.
With more than 100 crafters and businesses displaying and selling wares, starting and finishing shopping in one day is a real possibility. Crafters come from more than 25 communities including Schaumburg, Capron, Geneseo, Cherry Valley, Roscoe, Caledonia, Mount Morris, St Charles, South Beloit, Cedarville, Montgomery and surrounding towns. Just a few of items available include American doll clothes, string puppets and G-K school apparel. Bake sales, food booths and more than 300 grab bag gifts will be available as well.
Santa will arrive at 11am and stay until 1:30pm to hear special wishes. Admission is $1 for adults and 50 cents for children, with more than 100 chances to win door prizes. A drawing will be conducted for a hand-crocheted afghan and a 50/50 cash drawing will take place at the end of the show.
This event is sponsored by the Genoa Community Women’s Club to benefit the Genoa- Kingston High School scholarship fund. Scholarships are awarded each year to deserving graduating seniors. Last year, four students were awarded $1,000 each. The club also donates money throughout the year to area programs and individual families in need of help. In September, the club hosted a benefit to support Safe Passage of DeKalb County.
Members of the club are excited to celebrate the club’s 64th year. Monthly meetings are conducted at 7pm, the fourth Tuesday of the month in the community room on the lower level of Resource Bank in Genoa. The club welcomes all women from Genoa, Kingston and surrounding communities to make a difference. For more information about the club, call Nancy at 815-761-0515.
