Handmade crafts and homemade food will be the main attractions at Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1290 River Road, Marietta, on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 2 and 3, for the church’s annual holiday bazaar. The event will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on both days. Among the selection of crafts will be wreaths and floral arrangements; wooden flags, benches, owls, and pallet trees; crocheted animals, baskets, dishcloths, angels, and afghans; decorative items such as angels, snowmen, cork pumpkins, ribbon trees, candles, glass candle holders, and ornaments; beaded jewelry; gift bags; notepads; and candy favors. All of the items are created by congregation members or friends of the church, noted organizer Mary Ann Eshleman. For Zion Lutheran, the
bazaar is an event that everyone pitches in to make possible. “Most of the people in the church either make something or help with setting up or in some other way,” Eshleman shared. In addition to the crafts, another popular part of the annual event is a white elephant gift area. Gently used, low-cost items such as puzzles, games, books, decorations, and more will be available for shoppers to peruse and purchase. Attendees may also pay to enter to win several giveaways for gift cards paired with homemade items. Plenty of food and beverages will be available to purchase on both days at the bazaar, including barbecue sandwiches, hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, chicken corn soup, ham and bean soup, and beef vegetable soup. Homemade baked goods such as candy, cookies, and pumpkin rolls will also be among the selection. See Zion Lutheran pg 4
