BAKE SALE

We run the granddaddy of Bake Sales!  You won’t find a better range of delicious sweets beautifully displayed — unless you’re in a New York City bake shop.  They sell homemade pies, cakes, cookies, candy, and much more.  Grab something in between shopping and take something yummy home to your family!

If you would like to whip something up for the bake sale, contact Jane at 610-381-6176 or mimimrtn@ptd.net.

FOOD SALES      

Our church “chefs” sell delicious food & drinks during the QOP Flea Market.  After hours of shopping, you’ll need to re-fuel.  So don’t pack anything, and have breakfast, lunch, and dinner with us.  A covered area with tables and chairs will be available for your comfort.

THANKS TO OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES

Our QOP Flea Market would not be as successful without the extraordinary donations of our local businesses & patrons.  They have been so generous in their support of cash & gifts in kind.  Please check out the patron list for the 2017 Flea Market, and reciprocate where you can.  Patron list will be updated for 2017 and also posted throughout the flea market.

If you own a business & would like to be a QOP patron “angel”, please contact Carollee at 570-213-4446 or cbrue@ptd.net
