Heritage Museum Holiday Bazaar Nov. 6 & 7
by Heritage Museum
October 26, 2009
Believe it or not, it’s time to kick off the holiday season with The Heritage Museum’s annual Holiday Bazaar. Festivities begin on Friday, November 6th from 5 to 8 PM and continue on Saturday, November 7th from 10 AM to 4 PM.
The museum’s aisles will be lined with tables of jewelry, woodcrafts, photos, needlecrafts, ceramics, soy candles, holiday décor, baked goods and more. Whether you’re shopping for gift-giving or just for yourself, you’re sure to find something that suits your taste on the crafters’ well-stocked tables. In addition, the Museum’s table will be overflowing with items and gift certificates that have been generously donated for this sale by local merchants and friends of the museum. 100% of the money earned at this table goes directly to the museum.
Stop in at the museum’s historic cookhouse where delicious baked potatoes with all the trimmings will be served Friday night. Then on Saturday, hungry shoppers will want to make their way to the cookhouse where the crew will be grilling delicious burgers and Polish sausages and serving chili. A slice of pie or cake will top off either meal nicely.
The museum will be decorated to create a festive holiday atmosphere. You’ll even notice some of the exhibits with touches of Christmas cheer. The "little house" will be decorated for Christmas with homemade ornaments on the tree and holiday pies ready for baking in the kitchen. Presents will be tucked under the Christmas tree and an elegant dinner spread on the dining room table of the Bolyard home, a replica dollhouse of 418 Idaho Avenue.
As always, admission to the museum is by donation. The Holiday Bazaar is the museum’s main fundraiser of the year. The goal is to cover the year’s insurance premium and the winter heating bills. A large portion of the profit will come from the raffle. First prize is $100 cash; second prize is a gift basket which includes some restaurant gift certificates. There are over twenty third prizes donated by all the participating crafters. Tickets are $1 each or 6 for $5 and are available from museum volunteers or at Naturally Good Things, 313 California Ave. or Alpha Pets, 34294 Highway 2. The drawing will take place near the end of the Holiday Bazaar at 3 PM on Saturday, Nov. 7th. You need not be present to win.
