We wanted to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the 2023 Denison Christmas in the Country event. There were so many people who generously donated their time, (and still are as we prepare for Saturday), space, resources, and more to help make it all happen, and we are incredibly grateful to each and every one of them.

We know there are many people who played a part in making this event possible, and I personally apologize in advance if I inadvertently leave anyone out.

We would like to extend a special thank you to the following individuals and organizations, who went above and beyond to help make what we know will be a magical and memorable experience for all who attend:

- Bill Barrow, Chris McManigal, and Dick Lassiter, for graciously allowing us to post signs on their property.
- The Barrow Family, Samantha Correll, and the City of Denison, for providing us with the space we needed for our vendors.
- Steve Van Horn, for providing us with the wagon and making the hayride-sleigh ride available to everyone.
- The 4H Denison Builders, for decorating the wagon and making the ride a truly magical Christmas moment.
- Ronda Davis, for collecting all of the donations for our Scavenger Hunt.
- Dany Kravitcz, for posting signs, cutting the Christmas tree, providing the trash barrels, and being the best elf ever.
- Pizza Hut, Boomers, Jhetts, China Chinese restaurant, Trails Cafe, El Ranchito Restaurant, Cockeyed Pig, 7 eleven, Dairy Queen, Taco Bell, Sonic, and Finer than a Frog Hair Bar & Grill, for generously donating prizes for our Scavenger Hunt.

Once again, thank you so much to everyone who contributed to making this year's Denison Christmas in the Country event such a huge success. 🎄Your generosity and kindness are truly appreciated!

Denae and Lori

Our booth will be a blend of two crafters. From Denae- I had never been interested in crafts until I became an empty nester. After my oldest got married and my youngest went off to college I found myself needing something to do. After a trip with my best friend and time spent making bracelets, I was in love with crafting. I do my own thing and have a bit of everything from bracelets, rag wreaths, Christmas tags, centerpieces, and stocking stuffers, including snowman soup, beaded pens, Christmas ink pens and reindeer food. From Lori- I find joy in taking something old or insignificant and giving it a purpose. A piece of barn wood, a cigar box, a ribbon, a napkin found at an estate sale, then add a few touches of something new to make the perfect country Christmas decoration. We hope you will stop by our booth- you are sure to find something for yourself or a gift for someone else. Here are pictures of a few items, also a a few more pictures are in comments.

Ashley and Tessa bring you Uniquely You Creations. We started out as co-workers & quickly became lifelong best friends. We have been creating unique creations together for nearly 3 years but took a little time off from doing vendor events to focus on family this summer. Our products are unique because we design and make them. It is rare that any 2 creations will be the exact same thing. We make everything from sublimation tumblers, glass DTF transfer cups, jewelry of all kinds, and holiday decor to simpler things like keychains. Our products make great gifts as we have something for everyone, kids, adults, grandma, grandpa, mom & dad. We offer custom orders as well for most items.

Hi! I’m Sandi Butler and I’m originally from Denison as I grew up here. Many years ago I used to make lots of quilts. I never sold any but gave a bunch away. If I didn’t have an intended person for a quilt, I would say…Another Quilt4me!. It grew into Quilts4me. When I started my machine embroidering business, the Quilts4me kinda stuck with me. I make lots of zipper bags from 4x4” to 8x12”. The bags are my most favorite thing to make plus they are my biggest seller! I also do machine embroidered towels, mug rugs, chapstick holders, hand sanitizer holders, holiday ornaments and lots of other neat items that would make great Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers!
Hope to see you there!

I have been crocheting since I was 7 or 8. My grandma taught me. So I have been practicing my craft for over 50 years.

I try to make things that are different and unique as well as fun and useful. I also take special requests for orders if someone needs something specific or special.
