The phrase, “Tis the season” means Christmas to most people, and that works with us as well, with a slight modification. We call it Bazaar Season!
We have attended one already and I’m headed out the door shortly to get set up for another in about an hour. (Nov.-16, 17)This one will be a Friday afternoon, Saturday event in La Grande, the “big town” near where we grew up. Put on by the Art Center East, they recruited me while we were at the La Grande Farmer’s Market. How do you turn down someone when they invite you to a juried event? It’s held in the old library building so I have been in there many times over the years, but this will be the first time trying to sell our product there, wish us luck! If you are local, come down and see us!
Our next bazaar will be in A Wallowa County Christmas in Enterprise where we were last year as well. We are even setting up in the same space as last year so people will know where to find us this year. Look for us there on Nov 30th and Dec 1st. There are several bazaars in Wallowa county that weekend and they local bus company drives to La Grande and brings several loads of customers to attend them. It’s amazing to go from a few customers browsing the tables to 50 or 60 coming through the door at one time!
Please think about attending either of these events and let your friends know as well. It’s always great to support local artists and craftsman.
