SPRING BAZAAR AND LUNCHEON Our Spring Luncheon Salad and Garden Craft Bazaar is scheduled for April 7 and 8. Country store gardening craft bazaar of fine hand made items by local artists. We have lots of new items from new vendors! One central checkout - no individual vendor tables, makes it easier to shop and to just pay once.
