THE DALLES — The festive season is set to begin early as St. Peter's Altar Society hosts its 47th Annual Holiday Bazaar. A beloved local tradition and the Altar Society's biggest fundraiser, the event features dozens of vendors and a full-service cafeteria.
Event Details
The two-day bazaar will take place at the Parish Center, 1111 Cherry Heights Rd (across the street from St. Mary's Academy).
When: Friday, Nov. 20 from noon to 6 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Admission is free, and ample parking is available at both the center and the school parking lot.
This year features 36 vendors offering unique crafts and gifts. Attendees can browse the popular "Country Store," which is stocked with a wide variety of baked goods for Thanksgiving, collectables and our featured “mantique” table.
Our cafeteria offers homemade soup, sandwiches, and desserts adding single serve tamales on Saturday. This is a nice gathering place for Friday after work, or luncheon on Saturday.
As always, the Scouting of America will be present, selling their selection of Christmas wreaths.
Highlighting the Quilt Raffle
A major highlight of the bazaar is the raffle for the Altar Society's signature quilt made by our members. This year marks the 29th annual, a beautiful queen/king-size (96-inches x 104-inches) piece with the pattern name "Midnight on the Prairie." The winner of the quilt will be drawn on Saturday, November 21st. Tickets are priced at $1 each or 6 for $5.00 and can be purchased at the bazaar. The winner does not need to be present to win.
All proceeds from the Holiday Bazaar are dedicated to purchasing church-related supplies. This annual event is a vital way for the Altar Society to support the parish while offering the community a fun, festive way to start their holiday shopping.
