BENTON, Mo. -- In response to high demand, at least 25 vendors have been added to this year's "Winter Wonderland of Treasures" sale.

Set for 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday at the St. Denis Parish Center in Benton, the 16th annual sale will include woodworking, toys, quilts, candles, doll clothes, Christmas-themed and other crafts.

Admission is free.

"Last year we were just bombarded, which was a good thing. People were everywhere. It reminded me of the big craft shows they have in Cape and like that," said Judy Scherer, who organizes the sale each year.

This year, organizers will open the cafeteria of the parish building, which will create room for an additional 20 to 25 vendors, Scherer said.

"So now attendees cannot only shop in the parish center and up and down the hall but also inside the cafeteria," Scherer said.

The event draws between 1,500 and 2,000 people from the surrounding counties, Scherer said.

By comparison, in its first year, 400 attended the event, she said.

"It's going to be totally different than what we've had before," Scherer said.

Among the new vendors this year is a woman who uses the wool from alpacas -- which are similar to llamas -- to make items, Scherer said.

"I think she's going to bring in her machine and let people spin yarn from it," Scherer said. "That's something cool everybody likes."

A vendor who makes cedar benches also will be at the sale this year, Scherer said.

"Woodworking has gone to the side; you don't see it a lot at craft fairs anymore, but it's making a comeback, and we will have it," Scherer said.

One vendor also hand-makes adult-size rocking chairs and wooden ornaments, while another makes birdhouses and furniture out of distressed barn wood, Scherer said.

Prayer timeout chairs will be new to the show, she said.

"These are where parents can put a huge hour glass under the child's seat and turn the glass over to begin the timeout," Scherer said of the chairs.
