An Cuddly Bear Drawing & TOUCH-A-FIRETRUCK

Go home with a BIG Warm Fuzzy ... and not from the Fire Truck!

  Get your ticket for this hand-knitted bear by Linnea Rein, the Makers' Market organizer and maker-extraordinaire!

  The tickets are complimentary as gratitude for attending.  So, pick up your ticket and hope to hear your name called.

  DON'T FORGET to swing by the Topeka Fire Department Truck that will be parked in our lot from 10 until noon.  Get up-close-and-personal with the truck and a firefighter!  Make certain to THANK THEM for their service to our community!

Enjoy a Lite Lunch or Snack!
Fill your bag with goodies for Christmas and your belly with food

Take a trip by the TFN Women's Ministry Cafe, get a lite lunch or just a snack, and kick your heels back in our cafe for a few minutes ... just enough to get more energy to do more shopping!

All food, the Market, the drawing, and TOUCH-A-FIRETRUCK are hosted by our Women's Ministries.

GO LADIES and THANKS!
