The Epiphany of our Lord Craft Show and Flea Market was held at the chapel church grounds on April 25, on 44 Pennsylvania Blvd., from 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. Rev. Michael Crookston is the church's priest.

This is the second craft show to be held this year - it was decided to be held on-site so a flea market could be included.
There were a variety of vendors, including Pampered Chef, Mary Kay Products, Plum Winery, Christina's Cakes, and Avon. For those who like to try their luck, Bingo, drawings, half the take, and a Chinese auction were available.
The craft show and flea market had spring theme, but the weather said otherwise, as the day started off with a chill in the air. According to Betty Geis, President of Epiphany Ladies and one of the two ladies in charge of the event, "We have lots of vendors and crafters, but the cold air is keeping people away." Nevertheless, she noted later, "as it warms up, people are starting to trickle in."
The event featured the usual delicious ethnic food such as: pepperoni rolls, fried pierogies, French fries, walking tacos, fried dough, and hot dogs.
One crafter, Lucille Senko, who belongs to the church, likes to make the crafts herself, as do many other church members.
A business at the event was Pavtis Chiropractic Health Center. The staff was offering free spinal evaluations. By using a scale meter machine, Dr. Anthony Cespites was able to analyze the back, shoulders, and hips, and their alignment. He then offered coupons to a chiropractic consultation, exam, and x-rays.
The day promised fun, bargains, unique finds and nice people for everyone who visited. Look for these crafters at the next flea market! Epiphany of our Lord Church is located on 618 Knox Ave., Monessen.
