Alabama Wildlife Center craft bake sale
The Alabama Wildlife Center will hold its annual craft and bake sale at Veterans Park off Valleydale Road on Saturday, Dec. 12, 2015.
The Alabama Wildlife Center (AWC) will host its annual Holiday Craft and Bake Sale Fundraiser on Saturday, Dec. 12, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Veterans Park on Valleydale Road. A variety of items will be sold at the event, including homemade baked goods, original wildlife artwork, jewelry and handmade quilts and throws.
The event will also feature free refreshments, crafting activities for kids and a visit from Santa Claus, who is scheduled to make a guest appearance and will be available for pictures from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“We are able to provide a great venue and forum for people in our community to come do their holiday shopping and take care of their holiday entertainment needs, all while helping out a wonderful cause,” AWC Executive Director Doug Adair said.
Those who attend will also have the opportunity to meet glove-trained birds from the wildlife center, as they will be showcased in a Birds of Prey show that will take place during the event.
Serving as a primary fundraiser for the AWC, Adair said, the holiday sale will be a great opportunity for fellowship and fun, enabling the center to continue its impactful work.
“We depend on the support of the people who believe in what we do in order to fulfill our mission,” Adair said, “so opportunities to generate that support, such as the holiday craft and bake sale, are very important.”
