(LANCASTER, Ohio) — Twylia Summers, Director of Volunteers with Fairhope Hospice & Palliative Care, Inc. is preparing for their Cookie Walk & Craft Fair that will be held on Saturday, December 3 at St. John’s Episcopal Church at the corner of Broad and Wheeling Street from 8:00 a.m. to Noon.

According to Summers, “Students from Amanda-Clearcreek High School help with advertising prior to the event and are available to help shoppers carry purchases to their car the day of the event.” Summers goes on to say “Culinary students with Lancaster High School make cookies and gingerbread houses that they donate to us, we could not do this without the help of local school systems.” The Cookie Walk started 13 years ago within the offices of FairHoPe and has since grown and relocated to the downtown area.

Proceeds from the Cookie Walk and Craft Fair benefit the FairHoPe Hospice Memorial Fund.
