The 8th Egg Eggstravaganza will be held at the St. John the Baptist Byzantine Catholic Church Social Hall, 201 E. Main St., Uniontown on Sunday, March 17 from Noon – 5 p.m. This year, the Eggstravaganza is being sponsored by GCU Lodge #81, local egg artists, and the St. John’s Ethnic Craft Club.
At least 20 tri-state 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, wood burned eggs, and other collectable Tiffany-style eggs. Egg artists who are interested in participating may call the numbers listed below for registration information.
There will be an egg marketplace featuring egg dyes, beeswax, tools, books, videos, and pysanky kits for sale. Traditional items used in ethnic Easter baskets will also be available, as will crafts.
A bake sale will include long rolls (nut, apricot, poppyseed, cottage cheese), paska bread, cookies, homemade candy, and more. A Lenten luncheon menu, including St. John’s “famous” pirohi, halushki, pirohi pizza, pagach, and soups, will be available.
There will be a children’s corner featuring egg-related crafts and activities, storytelling, cookie decorating, and a jigsaw puzzle area.
Tickets can be purchased for a chance to win one of the many raffle items that will be available.
There is no admission fee. For further information, please contact the church office 724-438-6027 or 724-438-8412 (evenings).
