TROTWOOD-MADISON HISTORICAL SOCIETY'S KRIS KRINGLE SHOP

KRIS KRINGLE SHOP

DECEMBER 4, 5, 6 AND DECEMBER 11, 12, 13

10:00 AM TO 5:00 PM

I guess Christmas is the time of the year to give thanks for all the good things that have been bestowed upon us.  The Society has been especially blessed this year with many donations that have been received.  If you have attended our garage sales, Shop Til You Drop booth, or the Country Store during harvest fest you know the amount and quality of the items we have to offer our customers.  If you have not visited these events, Kris Kringle will be your last chance to come to one of our Society sales this year.  I think you will be truly amazed at what we have to offer and will find that something special that you have always wanted—even if you did not know you wanted it.

The elves are hard at work in the Kris Kringle Shop getting ready for the opening day on December 4, 2014.  An enclosed trailer and a truckload of items have been moved from our storage area to the Iams Homestead to be added to items already there.  The elves will be sorting, cleaning, pricing and putting the items on display.  They do such a great job and the shop looks beautiful.  By the time we open, you will find a Christmas wonderland. 

Come to Kris Kringle Shop; support your Society; and have a great time. We hope to see you all there.  Shop hours are from 10am-5pm each day of operation at the Iams Homestead property, 349 S. Broadway, Trotwood, OH. For additional information or donations please call 837-5387 or 837-0355.
