Held on the first Saturday in November each year since
1961, the bazaar is the major fundraiser for the United Methodist Women of Our
Saviour's United Methodist Church. The crafts are all made by the women of
OSUMC in craft workshops held each Wednesday morning and once a month on
Wednesday evenings throughout the year beginning the first Wednesday in
February.
Ideas are brought to the executive committee and the group decides what will be
included. Only 6 to 12 of each craft item are produced. Specialties and
mainstays in addition to the selected crafts include the famous OSUMC UMW bean
soup mix, Christmas centerpieces, a yard Nativity scene, specially-made Advent
Calendars with individually-wrapped treasures, hand-made all-occasion and
Christmas gift tags, and hand-made all-occasion and Christmas greeting
cards.
IThere is also lunch available of sloppy joes or soup & salad featuring the
bean soup made from the mix available for purchase, along with home-made
desserts from the ladies of the church.
