The Friends of Bear’s Mill invite the community to share in an evening filled with the sights and sounds of the holidays at their much anticipated annual Candlelight Walk at historic Bear’s Mill Friday, December 2ND from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
“Kick off the holiday season by taking a stroll along the millrace that is lit up with the warm glow of luminaries,” said Merri Niekamp, Outreach Manager for the Friends of Bear’s Mill nonprofit organization. “Awaiting you is a country bonfire in the woods with straw bales for resting while you roast your hot dogs and marshmallows and sip hot cocoa. Historic Bear’s Mill and The Greenville Creek provide a spectacular backdrop for a winter bonfire and a fun, family holiday event. Inside the Mill, enjoy a cup of gourmet coffee and a cookie while you listen to holiday music, visit with friends and get a jump on your holiday shopping,” Ms. Niekamp concluded.
In addition to stoneground flours and meals, the Mill Store offers kitchen and gourmet goods as well as Boston Stoker coffees and Hammond’s holiday candies. Home décor, giftware and women’s accessories are also available for sale. “Holiday items are arriving daily and ready for your business and personal gift giving needs. A thoughtfully selected gift deserves to be presented at its very best and we offer creative gift-wrapping and shipping services too,” stated Julie Clark, Retail Manager. “Gifts from the Mill offer you the opportunity to give something special from your own hometown,” she explained.
The gallery at Bear’s Mill will feature the December artists for the Art at the Mill series. Included will be bronze sculptures from one of the Midwest’s most accomplished artist-sculptors, Kenneth Ryden, as well as paintings by New Carlisle artist Jean Koeller. Original pottery by the Bear’s Mill potters and friends will be available on display, as well as hand-blown glass ornaments by Clay Hufford.
“Tax deductible donations and profit from sales in the Mill Store & Gallery are vital to the nonprofit organization,” said Friends of Bear’s Mill Treasurer, Ray Lepore. “When a visitor gives a donation or makes a purchase at the Mill, they are helping to keep the Mill open. If a visit to the Mill is not already a part of your holiday routine, this is the year to begin a new tradition,” concluded Lepore.
Bear’s Mill is located at 6450 Arcanum-Bear’s Mill Road, about 5 miles east of Greenville. For more information, contact Bear’s Mill at 937-548-5112 or on the web at www.bearsmill.com.
