This year, the Eggstravaganza is being sponsored by GCU Lodge #81, local egg artists, and the St. John's Ethnic Craft Club.
More than 25 egg artists will be demonstrating, displaying, and selling 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, tie dyed eggs, wood burned eggs, and other collectable Tiffany-style eggs.
In addition to the egg artists, there will be an egg bazaar featuring egg dyes, beeswax, tools, books, videos, and pysanky kits for sale. Traditional items used in ethnic Easter baskets will also be available, such as embroidered covers, candles, lamb butter molds, egg wraps, parish cookbooks, and much more. There will also be Easter crafts for sale made by the St. John's Ethnic Craft Club.
There will also be a cooking demonstration of Easter foods such as hrutka/sirets (Easter cheese), horseradish/beets, braided long rolls, and paska bread design making. A parish bake sale will include long rolls, paska bread, decorated medovniki, small nut rolls, cookies, homemade candy, and many more delicious goodies.
A Lenten luncheon menu, including St. John's "famous" pirohi, halushki, pagach, pirohi pizza, and soups and more will be available for purchase. There is no admission fee. Door prizes will be awarded throughout the day. Handicapped accessible. For further information, please contact the church office at 724-438-6027.
