The fellowship of the Congregational Church has “Cookie Walk” in December of each year. The first Cookie Walk was held Dec. 2, 1984, as a means to raise funds for a meeting of the National U.C.C. General Synod held in Ames in 1985. This first walk was held on a Sunday and just for members of the church. The next year, the sale was moved to Saturday and opened to the public. This year the 29th Annual Cookie Walk will be held Saturday, Dec. 8, from 9 a.m. until 12 p.m. This is to start people off at the beginning of the Christmas season with enough cookies for their families and friends. Each UCC member brings 10 dozen of their favorite cookies to the church on Friday night or Saturday morning. The people who wish to buy contribute $10 and receive a number. Buyers then enjoy coffee and breakfast cake until their number is called. They then tour the cookie display room and select the cookies they like the best.
