Here we are, just a few weeks from our Christmas Bazaar on Saturday November 14th!

We hope you've been busy with your crafting, making jam or pickle or finding treasures around your house. We appreciate all your support! Here are ideas and items you can either "find" and put aside, or make:

- Gifts for the gift baskets (if used, please only items in excellent condition)

- Books for the booktable (again, only current books that are in good condition)

- Craft items you've made like - Christmas decorations, small gifts, knitted or crocheted items, other craft items

- Jams and Jelly's, Pickles and Preserves!

- And, closer to the day of, baked goods - both fresh and items that can be frozen.

This year's bazaar will be much like last years which was a great success. Thea Walters is busy coordinating our vendors and Ruthanne is helping to organize.

Stay posted for announcements as we get closer to the day!!
