Henry County Extension Homemakers held the 18th annual holiday bazaar, an outlet for local arts, crafts, and smallbusinesspeople. With 35 booths and a waiting list, thebazaar captures holiday dollars before they leave the county forthe malls of our neighbors. Nonprofits also have the opportunity raise funds, with seniors reporting the bazaar as the largestfund-raising opportunity. Through reports from participants,we estimate the bazaar keeps over $15,000 in shopping dollarsin the county. Participants said: "The holiday bazaar helps notonly the person renting the booth but the community as well.""It extends the farmers market season." "The crowd was goodand steady all day long with buyers, even in this crazy economy."
