Christmas Market

Kelly Jorgensen, Sammy Treleaven, Maria Baker and Melva Baker are a few of the rural visionaries working hard to put together and host the first New Norway Christmas Market.
It takes a village to raise a child; it takes a community to raise enough money to build a preschool and daycare to help take care of all the children. Until last week, the New Norway Preschool and Playgroup had been operating, as best they could, from the basement of the Community Hall. A redesign of the former New Norway Fire Hall office, as well as the former ATB Agency location, is now the new home to some very excited young people, parents, and caregivers. Now the community at large, along with the dedicated efforts of a group of area moms, are hoping to raise funds to not only assist the improved preschool program, but also chip away at the $25,000 to $35,000 which is required to convert the remainder of the Firehall building to a well-equipped after-school youth centre. Up to 49 local kids would take advantage of such a setting.
The First Annual New Norway Christmas Market Fundraiser will take place this Sunday, December 10, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Both floors of the Community Hall will be decorated for Christmas ambience and stocked with a wide array of ideas for Christmas gifting. Twenty-seven vendors (including 20 from the local area), will be featured. Santa will be on hand for photos. Glitter tattoos will inevitably be popular, as will the 50/50 draw, a kids' shop zone, poinsettia sale, and silent auction offerings. All shoppers are invited to bring along a donation for the Food Bank if they are able to do so.
