Summer is here!Thank you for taking the time to page through our latest issue of “Traditions

Magazine.” Last year, we created the first issue of the magazine to give

fans of the Carolers® some more insight into various products that we make

and the stories behind the pieces. We were so pleased with the response

that we decided to publish two issues of the magazine in 2010. Inside

you will find a number of interesting articles about current products and

upcoming events and activities. We’re very excited to be announcing

our “Harvest Celebration” at Byers’ Choice and hope that you will be able

to join us. To receive updates on the “Harvest Celebration” and future

events, please visit www.byerschoice.com and join our mailing list.

Have a happy and safe summer!

every bride has an idea of her “dream wedding.” There’s the cake,

flowers, gown, the guests and of course, the

groom. It is the happiest day of a young

couple’s life. Our company has been home

to many beautiful wedding celebrations that

take place in our Byers’ Choice gardens. We

have just recently added these wedding fig-

ures to our Byers’ Choice collection. The en-

tire bridal party is now available from the

bride and groom to the flower girl and ring

bearer.

I can hear the bells.

v Pick only the berries that are

fully red. Part the leaves with

your hands to look for hidden

berries ready for harvest.

v When harvesting berries, be care-

ful that your feet and knees do

not damage plants or fruit in or

along the edge of the row.

v Berries to be used

immediately may

be picked any

time, but if you

plan to hold the

fruit for a few

days, try to pick

in the early morn-

ing or on cool,

cloudy days.

v Don’t overfill your

conta iners—you

will damage the

fruit on the bot-

tom.

v Avoid placing the picked berries

in the sunshine any longer than

necessary. It is better to put them

in the shade of a tree or shed

than in the car trunk or on the

car seat.

v Strawberries may be kept fresh

in the refrigerator for two or

three days.

v DON’T wash the berries until you

are ready to use them. Washing

makes them more prone to spoil-

ing.

v Leave the caps on the berries

until after you wash them.

v Unripe berries will not ripen

once picked.

v You can eas-

ily freeze berries

that you can not

use right away—

just wash, cut

the hulls off and

pop them into a

plastic bag, re-

moving as much

air as possible.

v Freeze your

berries prepared

the way you

want to use them.

Sliced, sugared,

chopped, or in small

easy-to-use packages.

v Always store berries

in the refrigerator in

an open paper bag.

v Large berry size does

not necessarily mean

better flavor.4 BYERS’ CHOICE LTD.

Berrygood Strawberries are a favorite among most folks including bakers.

Bob enjoys baking. He is very good at bread and makes it for communion

services every February. He also enjoys making a strawberry pie that has

been in our family for at least four generations. We hope that you will try it!

You can use a pre-made crust, just bake as directed. Of course, great grand-

mother Witmer would never have considered such a thing. Her pie crust was

homemade and the delicious strawberries came fresh from her garden.

TEA FOR TWO

Mother with Teapot, Daughter with Teddy Bear, Sandwich Board Man with Tea

Tea cakes range from simple to elabo-

rate. Brownies, madeleines, macaroons

and meringues can be purchased at most

bakeries or super markets. Of course, if you

enjoy baking, the sky is the limit! This is a real

opportunity to show off your baking skills.

Individual cakes are not a must but a large

cake or tart should be able to be cut into

small portions as most guests will want to

sample several.

Taking tea is a long-standing

tradition in some parts of the world. The Chinese

believe that the first cup of tea was brewed

by Emperor Shen Nung who reigned from 2737

– 2697 BCE. It wasn’t until 1630 that Dutch

ships brought tea to Europe, and it was another

20 years before it reached England. At that

time, it was very scarce and used primarily for

medical purposes.

When Catherine of Braganza of Portugal married

Charles the II, she brought her love of tea with

her and it soon became quite fashionable with

the English court.

1717 marked the opening of Thomas Twining’s

first tea house. It became an immediate success

and was soon followed by tea gardens where

young people congregated to meet perspective

mates. Elaborate tea parties were fashionable

with special cups of porcelain, also imported

from China, elaborate sets of silver and delicate

sweets and savories becoming the basis of what

evolved into an afternoon meal.

The perfect

temperature

for tea is two

degrees hotter

than just right.

One of America’s most celebrated festivals, the Kutztown Festival is the oldest

continuing folklife event in the nation, drawing well over 100,000 visitors.

Apple dumplings, ox roast sandwiches, lemon sticks and woopie pies are just

a few of the culinary treats that guests can sample! Traditions and skills that

have been passed down in families over many generations can be found in

the folk art including: fine furniture, miniatures, pottery making, clothing, musical

instruments, hand-painted art, iron ornaments, cut paper art known as “scheren-

schnitte,” PA German calligraphic writing called “fraktur,” beeswax candles and more.

The quilt auction on the second Saturday of the festival is the highlight of the show.

There is also music in the air — everywhere! – at the Kutztown Folk Festival. From

folk singing and country fiddling to the sounds of brass bands, to the gentler sounds

of Mennonite hymns, the festival grounds are alive with music. History comes alive

in folklife seminars with speakers on topics ranging from religion and family life to

folk medicine and historical reenactments. The colorful 4th of July parade is one of

the best in the area, with all of the Festival’s craftsmen, entertainers, and presenters

participating. There is plenty of fun for the entire family.

The Byers family has held a Christmas tent at the festival since the early 1970s.

We are a proud sponsor of the Kutztown Folk Festival — be sure to stop by our tent

this summer and say hello! a

Be part of the story.

Visit where America began

and history lives, even today!

The beautiful city of Colonial

Williamsburg is a family des-

tination significant for much

more than just its prestigious

historical past.

C o l o n i a l W i l l i a m s -

burg was once the cap-

ital of England’s oldest and largest

North American mainland colony and is one

of the country’s oldest planned communities.

Over 4,000,000 people visit the Williamsburg

area every year to experience the award-win-

ning, authentic, interactive tours of the times and

lives of our colonial ancestors.

Guests find themselves immersed in the nation’s

yesterdays as they dance with an 18th-century

instructor, walk with curators and gardeners,

or march with the Fifes and Drums. Scores of

original buildings, homes, and shops are recon-

structed over 301 acres – most on their original

foundations – with rare animal breeds, trades,

and gardens adding authenticity to the recreated

town.

Cooperstown, nyA Visit to . . .

the historic village of Cooperstown is a small town in the heart of central new york and the home of

the national Baseball Hall of fame and museum. A non-profit educational institution dedicated

to fostering an appreciation of the historical development of baseball, the National Baseball

Hall of Fame celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2009. The Hall of Fame’s mission is to preserve

the sport’s history, honor excellence within the game and make a connection between the

generations of people who enjoy baseball. Likewise the institution functions as three entities

under one roof with a museum, the actual Hall of Fame and a research library.

Byers’ Choice is proud to have been asked to produce a special commemorative licensed

figure in support of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Dressed in a vintage uniform,

the figure was inspired by 19th century artifacts in the collection. Being that the Carolers®

are made in a suburb of Philadelphia, we prefer the uniform with red trimmings. However,

dark blue is also available. a www.baseballhall.org

milton Hershey

it all started with one man’s vision.

Back in 1894, candy-manufacturer

Milton Hershey decided to produce

a sweet milk chocolate to coat his

caramels. Over the next several

years, he found new ways to create

chocolate in a way that made this

deliciously sweet confectionery treat

affordable for all. As the business

grew, Milton built a state-of-the-art

chocolate factory in south central PA,

near his boyhood home. It was an

ideal location for chocolate making

as it was close to the port of Phila-

delphia where sugar and cocoa beans

were imported. It was also surrounded

by enough dairy farms to supply the fresh

milk needed to make the chocolate.

It took little time for Hershey’s to

become the leading chocolate manu-

facturer in the United States.

The legacy of Milton Hershey ex-

tends well beyond his successes as a

candy maker. A world class chocolate

factory must rely not only on fresh in-

gredients, but a dedicated workforce

as well. Milton had the vision to

build a unique community around his

factory where his workers could live.

He designed the town with affordable

homes for his employees, beautifully

manicured community parks and a

recreation center for families to enjoy.

In 1906, the town of Hershey was

officially named when the Hershey

post office was opened. a

The production of HeRSHeY’S KiSSeS chocolates has been interrupted

only once since their inception in 1907. The bite-size chocolates were

not produced from 1942 to 1949 due to the rationing of silver foil

during and after World War ii.

over the last several

years, Byers’ Choice ltd.

has had the pleasure

of designing several

licensed products for

Hershey including this

unique gingerbread

house decorated with all

of our favorite candies.

Unable to have children of their own, Milton and his wife

Catherine signed a charter in 1909 to turn the family

homestead into the Hershey industrial School for orphaned

boys. With more than 1800 students in grades K-12 today,

the school, now known as The Milton Hershey School,

celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2009.

During WWii, Milton created a

special chocolate bar that would

not melt in hot

climates. The “Tropical”

chocolate bar was used

as a snack for soldiers

during battle. as a re-

sult, the Hershey Choc-

olate Corporation

was awarded an ar-

my-navy “e” flag for

its war effort.

SpotlightE M P L O Y E E

Cheryl McKay it’s a cool, gray

spring day in Chalfont, Pa, but the light

in the workroom is warm and bright. The

low purring of the sewing machines and

the light, crispy rustling of the wrappers’

tissue paper weave together with soft

voices and together these sounds float

over the dressers’ worktables.

Today, as she stands at one of those worktables, dresser Cheryl McKay is thinking about the beach. But as her mind wanders to thoughts of sun and sand, her hands move deftly as she dresses the Caroler figurines that stand on her worktable. At the moment, she’s affix-ing sailboats into the arms of a group of Nautical Shopper Men, which is what has fueled the thoughts of warmer climates.

A petite and pretty woman, it’s easy to picture Cheryl as a young mom of a lit-tle girl applying to work at Byers’ Choice. Seeing an ad in the paper that sought someone with handcrafting skills, she ap-plied, bringing her own handcrafts along to show Joyce Byers. Cheryl thought the job was probably part-time but when she found out it was full-time, she thought she’d try it and see how it would all work out.

And work out it did! Recently Cheryl cele-brated her 20th anniversary with Byers’ Choice. Taking into account vacations, holidays and maternity leave (Cheryl’s son is now in high school and her little girl is in college), Bob Byers estimates that Cheryl has dressed nearly 280,000 Carolers in her years with the company. With all of that experience and the aid of design sheets and finished samples, Cheryl can dress any Caroler that comes her way!

When folks learn that she works at Byers’ Choice, Cheryl says the most frequently asked question is “Is it fun to work there?” Her reply is always, “Oh, yeah!”

Cheryl credits much of her longevity at Byers’ Choice to the warm people that she works with. She recalls a time some years ago when fellow employees gathered outside the lunchroom around

a tree that had been planted in mem-ory of a dresser who had passed away. An angel ornament was hung in the branches. And although this memory is tinged with sadness, it also points to the feelings of connection and warmth that Cheryl shares with her fellow Byers’ Choice handcrafters.

We know that Cheryl makes a connection with Caroler fans every time one of the lovingly dressed figurines leaves her work-table. And we hope that she will continue to make more personal connections with Caroler fans as she demonstrates her dressing skills or helps someone design and create her or his own Caroler. a

“Tea for Two”

Continued from page 6

Tea eventually became more econom-

ical and all social classes embraced

it by the mid 18th century. Taking

a break twice a day for tea became

the norm as it was less expensive

than beer.

By the end of the 19th century

ladies were changing into elegant

tea gowns each afternoon. Proper

etiquette included beautiful accou-

trements, elegantly prepared re-

freshments, footmen and musicians.

Of course this was not everyone’s

lifestyle, but even maids, laborers,

shopkeepers and the like would

take time out of their everyday for

a pick-me-up cup of tea. a
