Bazaar Workshop
The Bazaar Team meets for workshops two to three times a month for 10 months of the year. All are welcome. The workshops are an opportunity to get to know and support one another. The team has projects available for newcomers who would like to join - even if you feel that you are not “crafty”.
Traditionally, the Annual Holiday Bazaar is held on the Saturday before Thanksgiving and it is a success due to the very dedicated team of Bazaar Women and Bazaar Dudes, St. Mary’s Youth, the Creative Playschool staff and countless numbers of folks from the St. Mary’s family.
For more information, please email Sherrie Simmonds.
