It's “A Community Affair” Saturday in Menomonee Falls

A cup of Swiss cream soup, a simmered beef sandwich, homemade chicken salad, homemade apple pie and fresh baked cookies all sound pretty good. 

Well, they'll all be on the menu for the Community League’s annual event,  “A Community Affair,” which begins at 9 a.m. Saturday at , W142 N8101 Merrimac Drive.

Community League, a Menomonee Falls service organization for more than 50 years, has hosted the event for 29 years. The event includes an arts, crafts, collectibles and antiques show. Admission to the show is $4.00, and all proceeds benefit local and Milwaukee area charities, scholarships, and civic projects.

Many new exhibitors will join returning crowd favorites and showcase their works from all over the Midwest. To capture the taste of “A Community Affair,” the group filmed a video in 2008, which accompanies this article.

Some of the artists exhibiting include:

• B & J’s Pampered Pup Bakery, tasty dog treats;
• Jude and Thomas Zovar of Greenfield, calligraphy on granite;
• Alice Beaulieu of Racine, pressed flower arrangments;
• Debbie Hendricks of Dousman, herb garden products;
• Tina Kutalek of Hubertus, decorative wall words;
• Janet Hudacheck of Brookfield, oil paintings and pencil drawings;
