Hospice raffles heirloom wooden train
NORWICH – Hospice Homemade is an auxiliary group of women who raise money for Hospice of Chenango County by selling crafts that they and community members make throughout the year. Now Hospice Homemade has taken on another fundraising project just in time for the holidays. They are selling raffle tickets for the chance to win a handmade heirloom wooden train made by Oxford resident and master woodworker John Knapp.
Knapp is one of the artists in the Made in Chenango Cooperative. The train, that any child would love to call his/her own, is six cars long and was carved from trees on Knapp’s 268 acre property which include Cherry, Maple, Ash, Birch and Walnut. Even the logs on the train’s hauling car are made from Hop Horn Beam.
The train will be chugging through Norwich and on display at Made in Chenango from Oct. 3-29; Hairaphenalia from Nov. 1-12; and Sew Nice from Nov. 14-Dec. 3. The last stop will be at NBT’s downtown Norwich branch office from December 5-8. The final chance to purchase tickets will be at Commerce Chenango and NBT’s Business After Hours Party on Dec. 8 when the winning ticket will be drawn. Tickets are $2.00 each or three for $5 and can be purchased at any of the display sites or at The First Edition Book Store, The Parson’s Daughter, Service Pharmacy or the Hospice office at 21 Hayes Street.
Hospice is so grateful that Knapp shared his time, talent so generously with them. Although it took Knapp countless hours to create the train, he says it’s a pleasure to help Hospice raise funds that will go toward the specialized end of life care they’re known for. If you would like more information call Hospice of Chenango County’s office at 334-3556.
