Taste of WINter Market

The 2nd annual Taste of Winter Market was held Sunday at the Springfield Area Parent Child Center in North Springfield and featured the Springfield Stringers with George Ainley on fiddle.

Live music was not the only attraction at this event; local vendors were on hand selling their wares ranging from fresh eggs, baked goods, jams and relish, wooden bowls, paper crafts, handmade jewelry, knit goods, paintings and books. There were prizes for winners of a raffle and a baking contest along with free activities for children.  Mona Frye from Body Art by Mona was also offering her artistic face painting for those interested.

SAPCC staff were on hand to provide tours of the center and answer questions about the center's services. 

Jen Johnson, the new director of the Springfield Regional Chamber of Commerce,  had the honor of announcing the winners of the "Ultimate Chocolate Chip Baking Contest".
