Bear’s Mill
will host special event
GREENVILLE – The Friends of Bear’s Mill invite the community to share
in a fun, festive start to the holiday season at its annual Candlelight
Walk & Open House at historic Bear’s Mill on Dec. 5, 6-10
p.m. This event is free to the public. Donations are
greatly appreciated.
“Gather your family and friends to take a stroll along the millrace,
lit up by the warm glow of flickering luminaries, leading back to a
bonfire in the woods where there will be hot chocolate for sipping,
hotdogs and marshmallows for roasting,” said Ray Lepore, president of
The Friends of Bear’s Mill non-profit organization. “The Mill and
the Greenville Creek provide a natural backdrop for a winter bonfire
and a fun, family holiday event. This is truly a heartwarming
experience for all ages, the Candlelight Walk will be an evening your
family will cherish forever,” he concluded.
Inside the Mill Store indulge in a delicious variety of coffees, teas,
candies and kitchen essentials. “In addition to our very own
freshly stoneground flours and meals, the Mill Store offers a full line
of products for gift giving and entertaining this holiday season,”
stated Judy Stachler, Retail Associate. “Enjoy a walk and visit
to the bonfire and then head back inside the Mill to shop for those
special people on your list. Our coffee, pancake and popcorn gift
boxes are packaged and ready to go or we can assist you in putting
together a special gift box or basket. We offer gift wrapping and
shipping services too,” Stachler explained.
Enjoy the artist reception in the gallery at Bear’s Mill where the
final ‘Art at the Mill’ exhibit for 2014 will be unveiled. Terri
Logan, jewelry artist of TL Studios in Richmond, Ind. and local studio
potters – Julie Clark, Dionne Fleming and Loretta Wray are offering a
special exhibition for the holiday season titled ‘ADORN.’ Terri
Logan is also providing additional jewelry through a trunk show this
same evening.
“This time of year reminds us to be thankful that this piece of culture
and history is here for our community to enjoy. When a visitor
gives a donation or makes a purchase, they are helping to keep the Mill
open. Tax-deductible donations and profit from sales in the Mill
Store & Gallery are vital to the non-profit organization,”
concluded Lepore.
