Christmas Bazaar
To Benefit Haven’s Food Pantry
Haven’s Chapel Fellowship Hall
3375 Daniels Run Road, Check, VA
Friday, November 25th 12-6
Saturday, November 26th 10-5
Vendors are being accepted for the first annual Christmas Bazaar to be held at Haven’s Chapel Fellowship Hall. All profits from the bazaar will benefit the Haven’s Food Pantry- a non- discriminating food pantry open on the third Saturday of each month to all that need assistance.
Each vendor is requested to pay a vendor fee of $25.00 and to donate a door prize of their choice. Each vendor will receive a 6 foot table, table cloth, 2 chairs, and refreshments for both days. Additional tables can be rented at $5.00 each and will include a table cloth. Set up will begin at 10:30 am on Friday, November 25. If you need to set up earlier, please make this known on your application. Items may be left over night as the building will be locked. Haven’s Chapel, Floyd Parish, and/or Joni Underwood are not responsible for lost or destroyed items/products.
Vendors may offer home party items (i.e. Tupperware, Avon, etc.) or craft items. Vendors are accepted on a first come basis. Two or more vendors from the same company or offering the exact same product(s) will not be allowed; this ensures better sales for each vendor.
If you are interested in taking part in the first annual Christmas Bazaar please complete the attached application and return with a check made out to: “Joni Underwood” and in the memo area please put “Christmas Bazaar”. Checks will be returned if another vendor with the same products beats you to registering.
In addition to the vendors, we will be having a hotdog and bake sale, silent/sealed bid auction, and offering gift wrap (free for the items purchased at the show and at a low cost for those items brought in). Any suggestions or questions are encouraged. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Joni Q. Underwood

-This is the biggest area where help is needed. Without successful advertising there will be no bazaar.
-You can help by: passing and e-mailing out the fliers, spreading the word- verbally, posting fliers in stores and your place of employment, and:
assist with cost of mailings- there is a desire to mail a flier to each church in Floyd, Riner, and Bent
Mountain. This is a great idea because we will hit hundreds of people.
-There will be a bake sale at the bazaar. We will be selling items as whole, half, and in personal size.
-This time of year folks buy up tons of baked goods to give as gifts and to save them time with all the parties they will be attending.
-Attendees tend to buy a food, even if they buy nothing else. “A way to a man’s heart is through his stomach…”-So True for Man or Woman!
-Silent/sealed bid auction & door prizes.
-We are going to have a combination auction to allow most everyone a chance at great gifts (donated by you and the vendors) regardless of the day they attend.
-Without attendance the bazaar will be a bust! Please take time to stop by and look around, buy a hotdog and/or a cup cake.
-Help our vendors by doing your Christmas shopping with the little man rather than the big box stores. If the vendors are not successful they will be discouraged and not attend next year, therefore giving the bazaar a bad name.
-Thank you for your time, concern, and help. Without you the bazaar will be a bust. So, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Team work will lead to a successful bazaar.
