Holiday Bazaar this Thursday thru Saturday at Senior Center

The Plainfield Senior Center's 2005 Annual Holiday Bazaar gets under way Thursday, December 1 at the center, 305 East Front Street [corner of Roosevelt Avenue].

"This is really a high point of the holiday season for our members," says Senior Center Director Sharron Brown, "It's the payoff for the months and months that members spend in producing handcrafted items for sale at the bazaar."

Members of the center will offer crocheted items from shawls to booties, in color-coordinated sets, that one group has been working on for months.

Another group of members who enjoy getting 'down and dirty' with their handcrafts will be offering hand decorated ceramic gift items that they have done in their corner art studio.

The Center opens the bazaar to other outside vendors who will offer a wide variety of jewelry, clothing, holiday and greeting cards, as well as homemade holiday food items -- some of which people reserve in advance from year to year.

Proceeds of the members' craft items and table fees from the vendors go to support the Senior Center's ongoing programming.

Hours are: Thursday and Friday, December 1st and 2nd, 10 AM to 4 PM. Saturday, December 3, from 10 AM to 2 PM.

The Holiday Bazaar is open to the public. There is no admission charge. Parking is available in the lot at the rear of the Senior Center on the Roosevelt Avenue side.



Make plans to stop by and pick up some interesting and unique gifts for those on your holidy shopping list!
