Papoose Club's 21st Annual Holiday Bazaar this weekend!

Kick off the holiday season this weekend at Papoose Club's 21st Annual Holiday Bazaar! This perennial favorite holiday shopping extravaganza will be held at Hemingway Elementary School in Ketchum on Saturday, December 3 from 9:00am-5:00pm and Sunday, December 4 from 11:00am-4:00pm. Admission is free.

The Holiday Bazaar is an important fundraiser for Papoose Club, a volunteer organization that supports local youth-oriented groups through fundraising activities and events in the Wood River Valley. The Club provides important financial support to local organizations that serve children and makes it possible for kids of the Wood River Valley to grow up with access to a wide variety of activities.

The Holiday Bazaar is a juried arts show that features high quality hand-crafted goods from more than 50 vendors from across the Intermountain West. A wide assortment of gift items will be available for purchase including ceramics, handblown glass, clothing, jewelry, handbags, birdhouses, home décor, textiles, edibles and more. “This is a fantastic event that really brings out the entire community,” says Kristin Anderson, the chair of the 2011 Holiday Bazaar. “We’re very excited about the variety and quality of items that will be available at the Bazaar this year.”

Over the course of the weekend, Papoose Club volunteers will offer fresh soup in the Soup Café and sell homemade holiday cookies by the dozen. Tickets for Papoose Club’s famous raffle will also available for purchase, with a fabulous array of raffle items from which to choose. As a special treat, Santa Claus will make an appearance at 1:30pm on Sunday, so be sure to bring your camera! There will also be a creative children’s activity sponsored by The Bead Shop in Hailey, as well as a dropbox for letters to Santa.

Papoose Club was founded in 1954 by a group of local mothers and was incorporated as a non-profit in 1975. Over the past three years, Papoose Club has donated more than $77,000 to 44 local organizations that benefit kids.
