If you are starting your holiday shopping, you have a chance to find some treasures at the annual Joetown Christmas Treasure Sale at the Church of St. Joseph Heritage Hall parish center.
The sale will be from noon-6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 7, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 8 and 8 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 9.
In the past three years, the sale has helped raise $19,000 to help with the restoration of the church’s pipe organ.
Parish Nurse Marjorie Henkemeyer, who has been an active organizer for the sale, said the proceeds for this year’s event will go toward building an information center (a kiosk) for Heritage Hall.
Shoppers will be able to shop for slightly-used Christmas treasures of all kinds, including large and small Christmas trees, indoor and outdoor decorations, linens and handcrafted wooden decorations.
Something new this year will be a Joyous Toyland section offering used games and toys.
Dessert and coffee will be served at the event for customers who want to take a break from shopping.
“Thanks to the generosity of so many individuals, we once again have a large selection of Christmas treasures as well as slightly used games and toys,” Henkemeyer said. “The Joetown Christmas Treasure Sale is a wonderful way to shop, enjoy exploring the treasures and enjoy coffee and dessert.”
The sale is under the direction of the Church of St. Joseph Willing Hands group.
To volunteer at the sale or for more information, contact Henkemeyer at 320-363-4588 or mhenk2929@aol.com.
