The Eighth Annual Christmas Bazaar
The Eighth Annual Christmas Bazaar was held on Saturday,
November 30, 2019 at the Indiana MB Church (The Stephenson-
Roberts Fellowship Hall) hosted by Donnetta Carter " The
Social Butterfly." Over 50 small business owners with
products and goods participated in the area’s largest such
holiday event. Also, Carter stated there was a large waiting
list of vendors on stand-by for cancellations.
Despite the fact that the bazaar was held at the same time
as the annual The Ohio State
University and the University of Michigan football game,
individuals showed up in record numbers through-out the day.
State Rep. Paula Hicks- Hudson; Councilman Tyrone Riley;
Suzell Cowell, president and founder of the Toledo Urban
Federal Credit Union, amongst others, showed up to peruse
the aisles for Christmas gifts. Toledo and surrounding areas
showed up with overwhelming support for small businesses and
ONE STOP SHOP.
There were over 425 in attendance who took advantage of
handmade crafts, candles, jewelry, desserts, massages,
natural products, women's and men's apparel. There were two
big highlights this year: Santa Claus and his Mrs. taking
complimentary photos with the children and adults; the
famous Jaden Anderson, news reporter, commented on the day’s
event by interviewing the entrepreneurs.
Carter thanked the annual corporate sponsors: Woodforest
National Bank, CareSource, Paramount, The Truth Newspaper,
OMG Production - Tracy Roberts as well as volunteers Sharon
Crawford and Shawnterra Scott, DJ Rockey Love from WIMX- FM
MIX 95.7 The Saturday Morning Blues Show.
The next event will be the ninth Annual Business & Health
EXPO on Saturday April 25, 2020. For more information
