Since I am a member of the Sylvan Heritage Council, I would like to add this to the weekly post.
During tomorrow night's Christmas parade and tree lighting festivities, the Sylvan Heritage Council will have a table set up in front of the Chamber of Commerce, with some hometown gift ideas!
We will be selling our vintage Emporium calendars ($15), our personalized zip code ornaments ($15), and five different versions of our Westerwald Pottery mugs - Emporium, Cameron County, Sinnemahoning, Driftwood, and Sterling Run ($18).
Something new this year, our very own Karen Jiang created these beautiful cork wreaths; we have a limited number of them for $25.
We also will be selling chances on our famous wine & ornament basket, with the winner to be chosen at the end of the night.
Stop by and see us! Merry Christmas from all of us!!
