A BIG Thank You to everyone - visitors and volunteers! Our Virtual Christmas Market was a HUGE success. Extra big thanks to Susan (upper left photo) who coordinated our bakers, tallied our orders, and made sure everyone was safe and happy!!! All of us at Goschenhoppen look forward to seeing you next year at our full Christmas Market with gifts, museum tours, decorations, and of course, lots and lots of delicious baked goods.
