There are established quotas for all areas, particularly jewelry, textiles, and pottery. The show was named for the Pennsylvania German folk character who traveled to farms and visited the children at Christmas time. Good children were rewarded with candy and oranges. Naughty children received a sharp crack on the hand from the Belsnickel's switch. The Belsnickel supports the educational, preservation, cultural, research, historical, and genealogical activities of the Boyertown Area Historical Society.
