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.

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.
whether you grow your own berries or visit the local Pick-your-own farm,
keep reading for tips on how to pick and enjoy these summer treats!

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.

Summer brings outdoor concerts to the garden. Friday evenings in
August, hundreds of music lovers bring picnics or wine to enjoy while
they listen to everything from jazz to classical performances. Hundreds
of chrysanthemums turn the gardens into shades of gold and rust
which compliment the Autumn leaves.
Early November, after Daylight Savings Time ends, is the annual tree
lighting at Byers’ Choice. Tens of thousands of white lights sparkle in
the trees each evening to celebrate the Christmas season.

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
