Those looking to get an early start on holiday shopping can stop by the Christmas Village Bazaar at Ladner United Church this Saturday.
About 55 themed gift baskets will be part of a silent auction, notes volunteer Iris Scott. The basket contents are donated by the congregation and the themes cover all ages, she adds.
Paintings by local artists and contributions from Ladner and Tsawwassen businesses will also be included in the silent auction.
The bazaar will also include Bottlemania, a popular spin the wheel game with bottles filled with items serving as the prizes. Church youth will run the game, notes volunteer Shirley Baker.
All of the crafts at the event are handmade and donated by members of the congregation, says volunteer Heather Hutchinson. Crafts include wearables and useful items for your home.
Coordinator Pat Rogers notes there will also be baking and lunch available at the event, which supports the church’s operating costs.
The bazaar runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Ladner United Church, 4960-48th Ave.
