CANORA - For any Canora and area residents who were looking for some homemade cookies to enjoy over the Christmas season, the United Church in Canora was the place to be during the Winter Lights Festival for the Cookie Walk and Frozen Perogy Sale.
The Dec. 6 event was hosted by the United Church women. Twenty-five of them each made five dozen cookies, which works out to approximately 1,500 cookies for customers to and enjoy. The large variety of cookies to choose from included: ginger snaps, Santa’s whiskers, thumb cookies, pinwheel cookies, and also shortbread cookies cut into a variety of eye-catching shapes. After paying the fee of $15 per bag, each person was given a bag to fill with cookies, and gloves to wear while doing so. From there on, they were free to wander around the United Church basement and fill their bags with whatever cookies they liked best. Where there was any chance of allergies, those cookies were identified. The final total was 1,464 cookies sold, very close to being completely sold out.
Of course, the frozen perogy sale also attracted a number of interested customers, selling for $35 per bag. They started out with 27 bags, each filled with seven dozen perogies. Sixteen bags were sold, which works out to a total of 1,344 perogies.
All in all, Val Morozoff, one of the organizers, said the Cookie Walk and Perogy Sale was “definitely a success.”
