Christmas Place slated Nov. 13-14 in Harmony
HARMONY - Artisans, craft vendors and Butler County's only winery offer a taste of the Christmas season in Germany at the seventh annual Harmony Museum Weihnachten Platz.
The holiday marketplace will feature gifts, food, drink and live entertainment from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 13 and from noon to 5 p.m. Nov. 14.
Weihnachten Platz, which translates to "Christmas Place," has quality handcrafted items in a historical setting, adapted from Germany's popular Christmas markets.
Vendors will sell and demonstrate in the museum's Stewart Hall and adjacent grounds at Main and Mercer streets in Harmony's National Landmark District, as well as at the adjacent Wagner House annex and two nearby log houses.
Items include Santas, decorative red ware, imported handmade German articles, stained glass, wooden ware, candles, country items, jewelry, fiber arts, bath products, dried herbs and flowers and ornaments.
Historic Harmony Auxiliary quilters will sell their handmade works, and members of Ellwood City's Fiber Arts Guild will demonstrate spinning and weaving.
The Wine Kradel of Sarver will feature wines in the museum's 195-year-old wine cellar.
A $2 admission donation is requested for adults. Museum tours are available from 1 to 4 p.m. for a small additional fee.
All proceeds benefit Historic Harmony.
