Jacqueline Zeisloft Freelance Reporter The Grove’s Holiday Store celebrates its final run this December, offering local shoppers one last chance to enjoy the store’s seminal holiday shopping experience before it closes its doors to the Glenview community for good. The Holiday Store houses a sprawling, eclectic array of holiday crafts made by local artisans from across the Chicagoland area. Whether looking for homemade soap or handmade jewelry, miniature tree skirts or holly neckties, shoppers won’t need to look any further than The Holiday Store at The Grove to find the most original gift ideas for the season. Kris Van Voorhis, former program supervisor at The Grove, heads up the production of the Holiday Store each year. Last year, Van Voorhis retired from her role as program supervisor, but she’s back to manage the Holiday Store in its final year.

The shop at Kennicott House is sponsored by The Grove Heritage Association and The Glenview Park District. Profits from the shop go to the preservation of The Grove, a 145-acre nature and historic site on the western edge of Glenview. Van Voorhis has been a part of the Holiday Store and Arts and Craft Faire since their conception. “It has truly developed a life of its own,” she said. Van Voorhis described the once “tremendous crowds” at the events, lamenting the declining attendance over the past few years, which has led The Grove to gracefully Please see holiday, 10
