The one day of the year you can almost guarantee
a traffic jam on the normally placid Moon Shadow
Road heading west from Three Mile is on the
Saturday before Thanksgiving, when the
congregation at the Kootenai Valley Mennonite
Church put on their annual Holiday Craft and
Bake Sale in the church school.
Every year, folks flock in from near and far to
watch homemade apple butter being continuously
stirred in a big cast iron kettle over an open
fire, to stock up the pantry with some of the
finest baked goods you'll find anywhere, to get
a head start on their holiday gift purchases
with some of the most unique and exquisite
hand-made crafts.
And today, the Mennonite congregation weren't
the only ones making it feel that the holidays
have arrived in Boundary County; the Boundary
County Farmers Market vendors had the hallway
and cafeteria at the Boundary County Middle
School hopping with the fresh fixings for many a
holiday meal as well as an array of gift items
you'd find no where else at their Holiday
Market, and there was not one but two buildings
at the fairgrounds bursting at the seams with
holiday treasure!
As of the time this is posted just before 4
p.m., the holiday market has already closed and
the Mennonite Craft and Bake Sale is getting
ready to close when the clock strikes 4 p.m.,
but there's an hour left at the Vintage
Christmas Market at the fairgrounds!
Here are a few pictures of the bustle that was
Bonners Ferry today! |
