Holiday Market is like several shops in 1 spot

I began to panic today when someone said there are only five weeks until Christmas. How can I possibly get gifts for everyone on my list?
Then I remembered - the Holiday Market for Missions. The event, sponsored by the First United Methodist Church, will be Friday and Saturday in the Family Life Center.
This year's theme will be "Joyful Hearts Helping Others." The event is a fundraiser for the mission outreaches of FUMC.
One of the main programs is "Serving Our Savior" (SOS). Food and clothing are provided to those in need.
The chamber has recently become a drop off point for non-perishable food for this program. Join us as we try to make a difference in our community through donations to this food bank.
Hours of the market are Friday 2-6 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Door prizes will be given away. A free weekend getaway from Chestnut Bay Resort will be part of the drawing. Live music and refreshments will be available.
Holiday Market provides an opportunity for community vendors and community shoppers to come together under one roof and get an early start on their Holiday shopping.
A beautiful Christmas story will be told in dance by the Arise students. This performance alone would be worth your efforts to attend.
I bought so many unique items at last year's market. Items will range from purses to pieces of furniture. Not to mention the sweets that never made it as a gift.
If you have any questions, call Marianne Norris at 256-845-1141 for more information.
Carol Beddingfield is the director of the Fort Payne Chamber of Commerce.
