Holidays in the Hills 2011

The 6th Annual Holidays in the Hills was held November 19th at the Appalachian School of Law's Booth Center in Grundy, VA.  This is the Grundy Woman's Club's largest fund raiser and this year was the best yet with over 3400.00 raised.  Let's hear it for the "Girls".  A lot of hard work goes into making the event a success but it is all worth while.

This year 40+ vendors came out to display their goods.

There were vendors of all kinds, make-up, jewelry, crafts, candles, fishing poles, floral arrangements and more.

 

 

 

 

 

The Mt. Mission Choir even stopped by and sang several songs to the delight of the vendor and customers.  They have already penciled us in for next year.

 These nice people were from Wise and made stain glass jewelry.  If they try to tell you they brought me a case of wine just ignore them.  I think they are a little delusional.

Anna Ruth, Peggy and Jessie enjoyed the day.

As you can imagine an event of this size does not happen without a few mishaps.  What if a vendor shows up that you don't have a table for - no problem, what if there were more vendors than you really had room for - no problem, what if the elevator decided to completely shut down about two hours before the show ended - BIG problem.  Some of the vendors had really, really heavy items and lots of them to load up after the show.  Thankfully Jeff, (the gentleman hired to help with set-up and clean-up), and Cade, (Bertha Street's grandson), were happy to help carry a lot of boxes and packages to cars.  However this brings up the subject that maybe we have outgrown our current facility and finding one on the ground floor would be nice.

But didn't our table look nice.  Big thanks to all that helped and plans are already underway for next year.  Mark your calendar for November 17th, 2012.
