Festival of Lights CANCELLED. A&C Guild official notice.

We decided as a group to cancel the 2020 Festival Of Lights as well as our Christmas Boutique. We normally open the boutique on the day after Thanksgiving, and the 3 Saturdays after that. We are hoping that we will be able to sponsor and have our three festivals next year. Stay safe, stay healthy.

Thanks to all of Santa's helpers for donations during our Christmas in July toy drive. This year, people donated 52 toys and $600 to help us buy toys. However, this is far lower than the July toy drive last year, when we collected 192 toys and $692.

Each year, MVF provides toys for about 75 children from Pine and Strawberry whose families are struggling financially. We normally budget about $3000 for this project, which is part of our core mission of helping children in our communities.

We have been unable to raise funds as we normally do through our pancake breakfasts and Western Steak Fry because of the risk of spreading COVID-19 at these events. But you can still donate to our kids’ Christmas program. Monetary donations can be sent to MVF at PO Box 715, Pine, AZ 85544.

Any donation amount is much appreciated!

I just received a phone call from the president of our guild and after he spoke with other members of the guild, they decided to cancel the 4th of July show. We have had several cancellations and with the numbers continuing to climb from the coronavirus, it was felt that we should cancel the show in the interest of everyone's health and safety, for the members of the community, vendors, people coming to the festival and the guild members.-Catherine Hurla-Member of the Guild
