Christmas Pop – Up Shoppe
Mark your calendars for Saturday, Nov. 29 for the annual Buckham West Pop-Up Shoppe. Last year we asked, and you delivered. Thanks to your incredible generosity, it was a huge success.
We’re once again collecting new or gently used items to make this year’s event even better. Donations of Christmas décor, small appliances, children’s books, puzzles, candles, wine, jewelry, handcrafted items, toys, giftware, art, woodworking, sewn or crocheted crafts, and accessories are greatly appreciated.
Proceeds from the Shoppe directly support Buckham West Senior Center. Donations can be dropped off during business hours, or call 507-332-7357 to arrange another time.
Christmas Craft
Get into the Holiday spirit with our Christmas craft 1 p.m. Dec. 3. Make a lighted door or wall hanging with mittens, greenery and a little holiday sparkle. Check out the craft at Buckham West.

Coffee and Canvas Bags
Join us at 10 a.m. Dec. 2 in the Buckham West Activity room to paint your own winter themed canvas bag with Suzanne from the Upper East Side. This creative and colorful class is $10 per person ($26 value) and open to the first 14 people who register. We will be doing a fall theme yet to be determined.
