CEDAR RAPIDS, IA – Junior League of Cedar Rapids (JLCR) has rescheduled its holiday toy and book sale for this coming Saturday, Dec. 8. The sale was originally scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 1, but was canceled due inclement weather. The toy and book sale will be from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. at the Cherry Building, 329 10th Ave. SE, Cedar Rapids, IA. In line with JLCR’s mission to improve the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers, all proceeds will benefit the Science Station.

JLCR has helped the Science Station set up a new and improved gift store. The toys sold at this holiday toy and book sale are examples of what unique items can be found at the Science Station’s gift shop. JLCR also continues to support the Science Station and its new gift store by helping staff the shop voluntarily on Saturdays.

The holiday toy and book sale will run during the Very Cherry Holiday. This event has also been rescheduled for Saturday, Dec. 8 from 1 p.m. until 5 p.m. due to an ice storm this past weekend. The Very Cherry Holiday is an annual open house and studio tour held by the artists and entrepreneurs of the Cherry Building. Over 25 studios, galleries and renovated workspaces will be open to the public with original artwork and unique gift packages available for purchase.

The Cherry Building is located in the Czech Village/New Bohemia Cultural District. The Very Cherry Holiday Open House has driven hundreds of visitors to the District as they walk through the renovated 88-year-old building and find hidden treasures.
