Gadsby/Westwoods
An excerpt from the Big Knife to the Battle history book: “One interesting thing they (Gadsby Omega Circle ladies) did was hold a handkerchief bazaar”. “The first bazaar was held November, 1920. The whole community helped contribute to it and it was very successful.” “In 1928 the Circle decided they should have their bazaar earlier in the fall, before the weather got cold”. “The last Saturday in October became the day for the annual Omega Circle Bazaar!”
This year marks the 94th annual bazaar, which will be held at the Gadsby Hall on Saturday, Oct. 25. Doors open 1 p.m.; bazaar will officially start at 2 p.m. There will be baking, crafts and white elephant tables, guessing game; fishpond and popcorn draws for the kids; pail prizes and the main raffle will be drawn.
There is a minimal charge at the door and this will give you a chance at the door prize plus tea/coffee and cake, something for everyone.
