The 11th Egg Eggstravaganza will be held at the St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Church Social Hall 201 E. Main Street Uniontown, PA on Sunday, March 13, 2016 from noon – 5 p.m.

Lois Winslow, Perryopolis

This year, the Eggstravaganza is being sponsored by GCU Lodge #81, local egg artists, and the St. John’s Ethnic Craft Club.

At least 25 egg artists will be demonstrating, displaying, and selling their particular art, which will include Eastern European pysanky, Polish drop-and-pull wax relief eggs, Hungarian-style eggs, onion-skin-dyed etched or scratch-type goose eggs, vinegar-etched emu eggs, tie-dyed eggs, wood-burned eggs, and other collectable Tiffany-style eggs.

In addition to the egg artists, there will be an Egg Bazaar featuring egg dyes, beeswax, tools, books, videos, and pysanky kits for sale. Traditional items used in ethnic Easter baskets will also be available, such as embroidered covers, candles, lamb butter molds, egg wraps, parish cookbooks, and much more.

There will also be Easter crafts for sale made by the St. John’s Ethnic Craft Club. Traditional Easter basket covers will also be on display.

A parish bake sale will include long rolls, paska bread, decorated medovniki, small nut rolls, cookies, homemade candy, and many more delicious goodies.

Visitors can try a hands-on workshop to learn how to decorate eggs. There will be a Children’s Corner featuring egg-related crafts, storytelling, cookie decorating, and a jigsaw puzzle area. A Raffle and Basket Raffle will also take place.

A Lenten luncheon menu will be available. There is no admission fee. Door prizes will be awarded throughout the day. Handicapped accessible.
