40th Annual Arts, Crafts, Vendor Show and Greek Food Fest

Homemade Greek Food & Pastries / Artist, Crafter & Vendor Show


It’s hard to believe that 40 years ago, the Ladies Philoptochos Society of St. Nicholas Greek
Orthodox Church hosted the “only show in town” with its first bazaar. Now, the 40th Annual Bazaar promises to be just as exciting!


For months the ladies have been preparing delectable
food & pastries while assembling a unique and creative array of artisans to showcase their wares. Handmade items include jewelry, wooden plaques & puzzles, leather accessories, handbags, infant bedding, holiday decor, clothing, stationery, furniture, serving pieces, spa
items, teddy bears, items for all ages for the home, to wear or to give. Vendors will offer computer rebuilding, gold buying, cosmetics and more.
