Weihnachtsmarkt In Sparta, New Jersey Held On December 7, 2014

Once again, Lake Mohawk in Sparta, NJ held its annual German Weihnachtsmarkt on December 6 and 7, 2014.  I went on December 7.  The event seems to be getting more and more popular.  I did not arrive until a little after 3:00 (the closing time was 5:00) and it was still packed.

Here is the scenery as I walked toward the market:


I saw a wood carver working on a creation:


Here is a brief video showing his skills:

Look at this wooden bear:


Now look at the pricetag!



Other sights ...




That is an angry looking eagle:


Here is a sample of what I purchased (all German-made):


This owl looks as angry as the eagle:


I would like to give a spacial salute to a woman who used to set up at the Sparta and Clark German events.  She passed away earlier in the year.  I made purchases from her over the years and this event was the last time the people connected to her set up.  I walked away with a large haul of her stock at this event.  I will continue to decorate with these fine items well into the future.
