The Mundare Recreation Centre was packed with holiday shoppers, who were busy moving from vendor to vendor in search of one-of-a-kind items. There were a total of 35 vendors on-site with paintings, wood crafts, crotched and knitted items, jewelry, embroidery, and fresh baked goodies.

Christmas baking has always been a great seller with the Mundare Communities In Bloom committee utilizing the funds for future beautification projects in the community. The volunteer group also held a 50/50 raffle during the day-long event.
