St. Peter’s Church Craft Show and Guild Café
It was a truly joyous occasion for the community that participated in St. Peter’s Craft Show and Sale on November 12, 2023. The lower level community hall had been decorated with Christmas lights and ringed with an outstanding collection of presentations by crafters and gourmet bakers. The upstairs Guild room was designated for the sale of our traditional Christmas sausages – (
verivorstid) that had been prepared by our organist Erik Veski. No-one was surprized by the long line-ups and that they were soon sold out.
The stage in the hall was loaded with gifts collected for the traditional lottery. Extra special gift baskets were however available only by silent auction. Many outstanding bargains were up for grabs to the enterprising bidders.
Most important, however, were the number of familiar faces that were seen for the first time in a long while. It seemed like every part of our community had representation either at the craft table, or the bake sale or as customers socializing with old and new friends.
Live Christmas music was provided by Enno Agur and his accordion. Our Guild women could not resist the opportunity to lead the singing from the stage. The highlight of the musical entertainment was the swinging sounds of the Northern Secondary School Jazz Band. This was made possible by Ene Lomp, the former music teacher at Northern, for whom the school actually renamed their auditorium.
It has to be said that this was more than a simple craft show. It was a special community event. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the Guild Café and the socializing that went with the excellent baked goods presented by the Guild. It brought to light how much we have missed during the pandemic. We are truly people that enjoy camaraderie and a good time. We eagerly look forward to many more get togethers.

Really? REALLY... let's time travel to Peetri Kirik Church Basement, here, take my hand and say what you said here to "all the hands on deck" participants of this event, People who woke up early to bake (with love) their offerings, people who planned this event, people who made stuff with kuldsed hands, people who pushed around all those tables and chairs. Estonian Peoples. I don't live there amongst youz and why do I care so much? I count myself as one of a very small tribe, 1.3M-ish, and I AM going to call you up as a bitter myopic AH. Smarten up! You disgrace my tribe. Happy Holidays. p.s. Beautiful CookBook new Peetri Kirik Executive! Thank you.
