Wendell Kick-Off Bazaar
Holiday shopping doesn’t have to be a long trip to the big city. Over the next few weeks, many of our communities will host local shopping with bazaars and other events. The Annual Holiday Kick-Off Bazaar in Wendell will be held this Saturday, November 23rd, at the Wendell Elementary School from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Vendors will be signing up this Friday (5 to 7) and on Saturday morning (8 to 9). Call 208-320-3414 or 208-536-5271 for more information. At 12 noon, grab some lunch from one of the vendors and enjoy a holiday performance by Uptown Dance Studio followed by music from members of the Wendell High School Band.
