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 figures to our Byers’ Choice collection. The entire bridal party is now available from the
bride and groom to the flower girl and ring

—A special meaning for both Byers’ Choice and the Kutztown Folk Festival!
Nothing tops the good old-fashioned summer fun that can
be found at the Kutztown Folk Festival in Kutztown, PA.
This annual event, celebrating German and Pennsylvania
German heritage, runs for nine days in the beginning of July
each summer and offers over 200 demonstrating craftsmen, 2000
beautiful hand-made quilts, folklife demonstrations, six stages of
entertainment, lots of children’s activities, and the best PA Dutch
food to be found anywhere.

BYERS’ CHOICE LTD. 215-822-6700
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 “scherenschnitte,” 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

Hershey Chocolate Factory, 192
0s
Milton Hershey
Milton S. 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 Philadelphia 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 manufacturer in the United States.
The legacy of Milton Hershey extends well beyond his successes as a
candy maker. A world class chocolate
factory must rely not only on fresh ingredients, 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
philanthropist
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 result, the Hershey Chocolate Corporation
was awarded an Army-Navy “E” flag for
its war effort.
Over the last several
years, Byers’ Choice Ltd.
has had the pleasure
of designing several
licensed products for

The production of HERSHEY’S KISSES chocolates has been interrupted

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 affixing 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 little girl applying to work at Byers’ Choice.
Seeing an ad in the paper that sought
someone with handcrafting skills, she applied, 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 celebrated 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 memory 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 worktable. 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
