A Christmas Vendor Show was held on Sat., November 16, at the Monessen Fireman’s Social Hall.

| DJ Jammin’ Jodi Yerkey did a great job keeping attendees entertained at the Christmas vendor show. |
The event was organized by Jessica Ash from the Pennsylvania chapter of the Magic Yarn Project and featured about 60 vendors that were perfect for Christmas season including, Avon, Paparazzi, Rosebud-Bath & Crafts, Beauty & the Bling Creations, Christina’s Cakes, and many more! Visitors enjoyed shopping for unique gifts, a 50/50 raffle, and an auction, all while enjoying music played by music DJ ‘Jammin’ Jodi Yerkey.
The Magic Yarn Project is the original and largest organization dedicated to crafting imaginative yarn wigs for children with cancer and other medical hair loss. Chemotherapy treatments often leave tender young scalps too sensitive for traditional wigs. Yarn wigs are comfy, soft, and warm and are inspired by the Disney characters recognized by children all over the world, inviting them back to the world of play and daydreaming. They are beacons of fun, laughter, and imagination during painful and scary times.
“I wanted to sponsor this show to get the word out about this project that not many have heard about,” said Ash. “We are in the season of giving, and if we can get even one person interested in volunteering and donating, the word will spread.”
