Our bright, vaulted ceiling Meeting Room will be filled with booths of local artists and artisans, displaying and selling their work. The rest of our building will be bustling with the many offerings of the Bazaar, with proceeds supporting our church: The Cookie Cruise and Gourmet Galaxy, Book Sale, White Elephant Sale, Golden Elephant, the UUnique Café, and booths of handmade goods run by our Social Justice Task Forces. Two days of delicious food, unexpected treasures, and holiday cheer for all.
Friday Lasagna Dinner: Delicious homemade vegetarian lasagna, salad, and garlic bread will be served in Fellowship Hall on Friday, December 6th, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. All are welcome! Early Bird tickets are $12 - order them online here before December 2. Price for the lasagna dinner at the bazaar is $15.

Volunteer at this year's event!
Sign Up Here
There are many moving parts to the Art Fair & Bazaar, and we couldn't do it without a mighty and dedicated team of volunteers. Our steering committee members have been organizing the magic behind the scenes, and now it's your turn - we need help setting up in the week leading up to the big event, and of course we need friendly, helpful people to work shifts during the two days of the Bazaar, Dec 6 and 7.
See below for more ways to contribute!
Volunteer Bakers Needed
Baked items for the Bazaar can be made ahead and frozen. Cookies for the Cookie Cruise, and breads and other gourmet treats for the Gourmet Galaxy booth are great sellers - be thinking about what you can make and freeze. Details below.
Persimmon Puddings and More
Bakers are needed to make persimmon pudding, cookies, and other gourmet treats for sale at the Bazaar - we will provide free persimmons for your baking! Contact Margie Schrader for persimmon pulp.
Call for Cookies!
The Bazaar Cookie Walk is under sail! It's not too early to climb aboard to bake and freeze the confections that our Bazaar customers love. All types are welcome, from chocolate chip to fancy-dress.
Gourmet Galaxy
(A booth selling wonderful homemade baked goods, pies, pickles, candies, jams etc contributed by the congregation)
Do you like to bake or make edible delicacies? The Gourmet Galaxy is looking for you! Some volunteers are making soups that we can sell (frozen). See Ann Kamman if you’re interested in joining that group – she has containers for you. Historical favorites of the Gourmet Galaxy have been biscotti, rum balls, breads and cakes, bars, candies, muffins. Contact Ann Kamman.
Donate to the Bazaar Book Sale and White Elephant Sale!
Time to weed your shelves, dig around in the back of your closets, and start setting aside donations for this year's Bazaar... Our used book sale will accept hardbacks and paperbacks for all ages, as well as DVDs, CDs, LPs & sheet music. White elephants are anything that you might put out at a yard sale - any household object that you no longer need could be someone else's newfound treasure!
Steve Krahnke will pick up your donations to store, or you can bring them directly to the church from December 1 - 5.
