"Zero" Shopping Mall Chaos
The weather is cooler, the holiday lights are
beginning to twinkle at area stores, and it is time to think about those
dreaded words–holiday shopping! No longer do those have to be words that
put fear into the hearts of men (and women). The 17th Annual Extension
Holiday Bazaar, sponsored by the Henry County Homemakers Organization,
will help you fill up those stockings with no problem at all.
The event will be held at the Henry County 4H
Fairgrounds building on Highway 421 on Saturday, November 14 from 9:00
a.m. until 4:00 p.m. You will enjoy over 30 booths just brimming with
unique and creative gifts that will make you a hit with anyone on your
list. You can shop until you drop and then stop by the Senior Citizens
lunch counter sponsored by the Tri-County Community Action Agency. They
will revive your energy with their delicious soups, sandwiches and
desserts.
When you realize that you can do your shopping
without the madhouse of a mall parking lot, the whopping expense of gas,
help support our local economy, encourage our local artists and
craftspeople, and find that unique one of a kind gift, it is obvious
that it is a win-win situation. So mark your calendars and plan to
attend this community wide event.
If you can’t find a gift from this
listing of booths it probably doesn’t exist!!
