The Heritage Museum’s annual holiday

bazaar is coming up Nov. 5-6.

The event will run from 5-8 p.m., on

Friday, Nov. 5 and from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., on Saturday, Nov. 6.

Wood crafts, baskets, needlecrafts,

jewelry, photographs, candles, artwork, holiday décor, baked goods,

candies and more will be available for purchase.

The museum will also have a table that

features items and gift certificates donated by local merchants and

friends of the museum. All money earned at that table goes directly

to the museum.

Kathy Lauer’s prize-winning chili will

be served in the cookhouse Friday evening. Saturday’s menu headed

up by Marge Kroeger and her crew will feature grilled burgers,

polish sausages and homemade soup. Dessert items include homemade

pie, cake and cookies.

“The holiday bazaar is the museum’s

main fundraiser of the year,” volunteer Laurie Mari said. “With

only three months of expenses, the museum depends on the holiday

bazaar to cover the yearly insurance premium and the winter heating

bills.”

The raffle provides a large portion of

the profit. Raffle prizes include $100, dinner for two at the

Venture Inn and MK Steakhouse, and numerous third prizes.

Raffle tickets ($1 each or six for $5)

are available from museum volunteers or at Naturally Good Things

(313 California Ave.) or at the museum.
