The fourth Christmas Cookie Festival will be held on Saturday, December 6, from 8:30 – 11:30.

The cost for a 96 oz. red bucket is the same as last year--$12.00. If you haven't participated in the past, you are missing out - as you listen to our talented musicians play music of the season and you smell the wonderful spices, your spirits will lift.  Plan to purchase a beverage and relax at the Broken Cookie Cafe and watch the festivities. Children will have a special corner to decorate their own cookie. They can take it home or enjoy it with a glass of milk. Our friendly Gingerbread person will frolic with our guests and offer opinions on cookie selection.  Our fabulous dog cookies will again be offered.

Where will this fantastic selection of home baked, hand decorated cookies come from? You.  Please donate your very best cookies. If you just can't bake, please plan to donate money to defray the costs of the buckets, sanitary gloves and so forth. All this effort has a wonderful purpose:  the proceeds will again support local missions and church projects.

 Gift Certificates are available in advance - 225-7569.  If you have questions or want to set up a baking party, contact co-chair Louise McDonald, 515-225-1905  or  lmcd39@mchsi.com.
