A variety of homemade and handcrafted items were front and center on Saturday at Escalon’s Saron Lutheran Church.

The Kris Kringle Market was hosted at the North Street church, along with a baked potato bar luncheon for those who chose to eat and shop.

Jams, jellies, honey, scarves, hats, woodworking decorations, pillows, holiday decorations and more were among the items offered, along with a wide selection of baked goods from cookies to pumpkin bread.

Also on hand were Santa Claus and a couple of helper elves, ready to pose for photos with kids as a holiday keepsake.
