With Halloween is just around the corner, the Boyertown Area Historical Society recently hosted a broom making workshop for those witches in need of a new broom, or for those who wanted a witch’s broom to add to their Halloween decorations.
John Warren and his wife Natalie of Country Brooms of Gilbertsville recently taught how to make the witch’s broom during a workshop held at the Boyertown Area Historical Society building.
The workshop was enjoyed by all and everyone flew off to their homes to share their tales of broom making with family and friends. Well, all the people who could drive stick flew home!
Another workshop will be held Oct. 20. Spaces are limited. To participate, email the historical society at events@boyertownhistory.org.
A broom master, John has been hand-making brooms since the 70s and selling them on his etsy site “countrybrooms.” He can be found at many craft shows throughout the area selling his hand-made brooms, including the Boyertown Area Historical Society’s Belsnickel Craft show held Thanksgiving weekend.
Luann Zambanini is secretary of the Boyertown Area Historical Society.
