Thousands turn out for successful Holiday Bazaar Nikki Wentling nwentling@ljworld.com

Thousands of people blew into the Community Building on Sunday for the 37th annual Holiday Bazaar, an arts and crafts show that kicks off the holiday season in Lawrence. Exhibitors from all around the region sold a variety of handmade items such as jewelry, pottery, yard art and knitted hats, gloves and scarves. Near the back of the room, people purchased slices of homemade pies and caramel brittle. The event usually draws between 4,000 to 5,000 people, and Duane Peterson, special event supervisor for Lawrence Parks and Recreation, said this year’s Bazaar was one of the best attended. “We’ve had a really good, steady

crowd all day,� Peterson said. “People are buying, not just looking, and everybody is in good holiday spirits. Everybody I’ve talked to has done real well.� Peterson explained that part of the success might be due to a change in hours. Previously, the event was held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. This year, at the recommendation of several exhibitors, the Bazaar began at 9 a.m., with vendors packing up their booths closer to 4 p.m.. This change was a plus for at least one of the 130 exhibitors. Erica Schott, owner of Barefoot Sewing, broke even at about 10:30 a.m. Schott, a Lawrence resident, uses an automatic embroidery machine to sew patches, hats and costumes that

The term “inventor� might call to mind a wild-haired madman in a laboratory with wires and beakers strewn about, or maybe a techie in a Silicon Valley garage. But university researchers — churning out ideas and technology all the time — are big-time inventors, too, both in spirit and in the eyes of the law.

KU joined Idaho State University, Louisiana State University and Yale University as new university members this year. Inventing is becoming more than ever part of the university’s regular business as KU garners patents and breaks revenue records for licensing technology developed by its campus researchers. In the 2013 fiscal year KU filed for 143 patents and received 37 patents in the U.S., according to KU Innovation and Collaboration’s annual report. The number of patents received is more than double that of the previous year. And Please see KU, page 4A
