The Bazaar Day


Today was the day of the annual Lions Club Christmas Bazaar, the VFW Arts and Crafts Show, open house for Artisans of Mancos, Grand Opening for Veryl Goodnight's Western Art Gallery, the Town Christmas Dinner and ... two or three other things that escape my bleary, blurry mind. And we did them all!

We didn't sell a lot, but it was interesting. One person bought a card showing one of his Dad's cattle drives. Another person wanted pictures in the Town of Mancos. Still another liked the picture of the Summit Lake Community Church at dawn after a heavy snowfall, because her sister was married there.  So, it affirmed that people make a link with our pictures of local, familiar scenes and events. And we got some Christmas shopping done for ourselves, which I guess helps keep the money circulating in the community.

Good turnout at Artisans for the open house and for the music that Sandy helped schedule and lots of folks apparently did their Christmas shopping at the co-op. We also hope that folks who stopped by the co-op today and who came by our booth at the bazaar will come back at other times. TV
