Christmas Bazaar
Saturday, November 17, 2012 – 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Looking forward to meet and greet all crafty parishioners of St. Joseph! Preparations have started already for our 2012 Christmas Bazaar! We have a lot of talented people in this parish and would love to have as many vendors as possible! There is never a “fee” for our vendors, however we do ask that you donate a portion of your sales to one of our ministries. In the past few years we have always supported the 7th graders of St. Joseph School who make a yearly trip to Washington DC.
If the weather is cooperative, we may have a few things outside, under tents—we will have to wait and see what Mother Nature has in store for us!
If you would like a table at the bazaar this year, please contact Lisa Watroba-Brown, email is best or or by phone 479-236-8703.
Be sure to visit our website!
