Christmas Comes to Millarville

(Page 4)

The Millarville Christmas Market once again welcomes thousands for three days of lights, food, hay rides, pony rides, carolers and many favourite, seasonal and new vendors.
Many of our regular farmers are here with all kinds of meat and some winter vegetables. Prepared foods including many specialty ethnic foods from Hungary, Germany, the Ukraine, Latin America, India, Poland, Thailand and Canada abound. Christmas treats include Christmas baking, pies, cookies, fruitcake, fudge, caramel corn and candy.
Decorate your home with handmade, unique decorations, wreaths, stockings and ornaments or find one of a kind gifts from our many artists and crafts people of jewellery, glass, paintings, stained glass, pottery, quilting, knitting, sewing, hats, mitts, scarves.
Photographs, calendars and books are available directly from writers and photographers. You will also find beautiful woodworking and woodturning.
Dress in layers to visit both the indoor and outdoor vendors with two new heated indoor areas in the quonset and a large heated tent. Have lunch, soup or a snack from the concession and relax in our heated seating area.
There will be hay rides every afternoon that are free with admission. If you bring your children be sure to leave them for an hour at Santa's workshop to decorate a cookie and make a craft with our local 4-H Saddle Sores Group. Children 5-12 are welcome. Cost is $2.00/child while you get to shop on your own!
Admission is $5/person or $10/car. Hours are 10 am to 8 pm. November 5th and Saturday and Sunday, November 6th to 7th, 10 am to 5 pm at the facilities of the Millarville Racing & Agriculture Society, 35 minutes southwest of Calgary.
