Christkindlmarket DSM Mug Unveiling Party a Huge Success

Several people were the first to view Christkindlmarket Des Moines’ 2017 Glühwein mug design at Jasper Winery on Tuesday, April 18 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

They sipped the signature drink (warm mulled wine) while shopping a mini market featuring foods and handcrafted items from Christkindlmarket Des Moines 2017 vendors. The first 25 attendees to donate $25 (or more) to guarantee their 2017 mug received a goody bag.

Participating vendors included:

• Andy Klindt – Demonstrating forged metal winestoppers
• Worldly Goods
• Three Smooth Stones
• The Permanent Collection Letterpress
• Indianola Glass Creations – Demonstrating cutting wine bottles for making wine bottle tealights outdoors)
• Jett and Monkey’s
