The 2008 Holiday Housewalk is being held this year on December 6 & 7. On Saturday the hours are 9:00 to 5:00 and Sunday 10:00 to 4:00. Please note special times and dates at some church locations. We have an amazing group of crafters, over 50, in 21 locations. The map can be downloaded from this site or you can email us at holidayhousewalk@owc.net and we can mail one out to you. This year we have 8 stops in Union, one at the Illinois Railway Museum as well as breakfast and a luncheon, on Saturday only, at St. John's Lutheran Church. The other 13 stops in Marengo include Hubbs Greenhouse, hosting 6 crafters, Covenant Baptist Church, hosting 7 crafters and The American Legion, hosting 8 crafters. This year we will also be doing our Food Drive. We would like everyone to bring one or more non-perishable food or toiletries product and drop it off at any of the stops on the walk. With times being tough this year, the food pantry is in need more than ever so please be generous, if possible. To add some fun to the housewalk (rather drive) we are also having the punch card this year. On the end of the map is a punch card which you can have someone at each stop "punch" your card and then turn it in at your last stop. There will be a drawing shortly after the housewalk weekend where the committee will pick the cards with the most "punches" and draw an undetermined amount of winners to receive cash prizes. The number of winners will depend on the amount of money left after all expenses have been paid for the printing of maps, advertising, etc. A list of winners will be posted here after the drawing.
