Having a Blast at the Abbot Bazaar In the spirit of the 40th anniversary of coeducation at Andover, the Coed@40 Committee came up with the idea of moving PA’s annual Spring Carnival to the Abbot campus and reviving the Abbot Bazaar. The result: a modern-day Abbot Bazaar extravaganza, with live music and all!

Like alumnae memories of Abbot Bazaars of yesteryear, May 31 was a beautiful sunny day. Dozens of Abbot alums joined hundreds of PA students and faculty and staff children for lively and colorful activities and entertainment, including bouncy houses, balloon races, trampolines, spin art, baked goods, and, near the end, a concert by American Idol star Casey McQuillen ’11.

The bazaar, which will become an annual event, was made possible by generous gifts from Abbot alumnae and the Coed@40 Committee.
