WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING: "There's nothing like this anywhere in Milwaukee – "I just LOVE this store!" OPEN 12-6 THUR., FRI. AND SAT. AND DURING ALL PERFORMANCES IN UIHLEIN HALL 929 N. Water St. • 414.765.7227 • wdcc.org One of the show's longstanding traditions is the raffle of a handmade quilt, sewn by volunteers. Each year the quilt is different, with the pattern being selected by the quilting team. This year's quilt is a pattern called Windmill. "This show is unique because it relies totally on the efforts of volunteers," says Ceil Bradford, who is leading the volunteer teams this year. "Volunteers help set up the booths and displays, make chili and baked goods for the tea room, sell admission tickets, serve food, sew the quilt for the raffle and work all weekend to make this one of the best shows around. These are all busy people who give generously of their time to help out. It's really a community effort." For more information on the show, visit www.st-monica.org.
