• Help promote the event! Email the flyer (downloadable file here)  to your friends, colleagues, neighbors and family and invite them to join you at the event.  RSVP to our Facebook event. Share the event and post to your social networks. Please take bazaar flyers from the sign-up table if you go to places where these can be posted. Take the cards with you to your workplace and community events to share. Call a friend. Your personal invitations work best. 
• Make crafts or bake treats  for Peoples Specialties. The foyer will be beautifully arranged to sell your homemade items:  crafts, breads, jams, snack mixes, baked goods, candies, vegan and gluten-free foods, and our famous frozen pasties. (No frozen entrees will be sold this year.) This is our main profit-making area, and every item sold here comes from your generous contributions of your homemade goods. Sign up at church with what you will make. Please drop off your food item contributions on Friday the 22^nd between 4 pm and 7 pm for pricing and arranging. Crafts can be dropped off to Eli at the main church office at any time.

Martha has provided the special rye flower for you to pick up at church to help make this popular bread! Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508054BA9AC22A13-52265445-limpa
• Put out a yard sign on Sunday morning, November 17^th.  Our yard signs have been the best way to attract new customers, and due to your generous donations, we are thrilled that we will have even more additional signs to display throughout the community this year. Check out one of the signs at church on Sunday November 10^th. 
• Plan to do your holiday shopping at the Bazaar! It’s hard to find a more interesting variety of gift items than you will find at our Bazaar. Bring your list and find the perfect choices right here from 28 local vendors. Shop local! See who our 2024 artists are here 2024 Bazaar Artists & Vendors.  Also purchase tickets at the main desk to win one of our gorgeous raffle baskets with a variety of contributed items from our artists. 
• Please Use Our Shuttle Service (instead of parking at the church) On the day of the Bazaar, we use the parking lot of CenterPoint Church (up the road on 10th St) and use our volunteer shuttle car that goes back and forth between the two churches from 7:30 am t 5:30pm through the day. This keeps our parking lot open for our shoppers.
• Help host our guests. Many people come to our Bazaar because they like the warm and friendly people. Please greet everyone and thank our vendors, too.
• Grab lunch or coffee and pie at the Mini-café. This year we will host a mini-café for our vendors and volunteers. Please note that the mini-café is NOT open to the general public. If you have volunteered to help with the Bazaar or contributed donated items, you are welcome to purchase your lunch or a treat and grab a beverage. Food will be served cafeteria style from the Kitchen, with food to be eaten in Room 9.  (And we need folks to bake brownies or pumpkin pies to be served at the mini-café Sign Up HERE to contribute your homemade brownies or pumpkin pies). Since the mini-café will not be available to the public, please access it discreetly from the far hall to the rear of the church.
