Hello Crafters!

St. Columba is excited to announce we will be holding our annual Christmas bazaar! Our goal is to provide an opportunity to showcase your crafts. We will host the bazaar both inside the gym and outside in the school playground. Booth space outside is discounted due to the limited number of spaces available in the gym, additionally we only have a limited amount of tables to provide to crafters, you will only be able to rent a maximum of two tables. Please note that outside booths are 10’x10’, do not have cover or electricity, if you choose to bring a canopy you must be able to weight it down.

• Dates and Times:
  Friday, December 1, 2023 set up starts at 5:30pm and ends promptly at 7:30pm
• Please be respectful of the fact that the school runs an after-school care program and there are children on the grounds until 5:30pm or later. Cones set in the parking lot need to stay in place until school personnel remove them; this is for the safety of our children.
• Saturday, December 2, 2023: Set up will open at 7:00am for those who were not able to set up on Friday evening. The bazaar will be open to the public from 8:00am - 3:00pm.
• Due to the limited space and availability of tables, crafters will only be able to rent up to two tables per booth, crafters may choose to bring their own tables and rent outside booth space at a deeply discounted rate of $10. Inside booth space will be on a first come first serve basis, we hope to honor our long time crafters with preferred booth space again in 2023. A confirmation email will be sent out by Friday, November 17 to those who have been accepted into the Bazaar.
• Food service is provided for the public, as well as for vendors. Because we provide food service, we ask that anyone selling food items package the products for home consumption. No one should be selling cookies, as we already have a booth for this. Reminder: Any vendor selling food items must bring a “Cottage Foods” course certificate provided by the State of Colorado. A completion certificate must be on file with us before you can set up at the bazaar. All food items must be individually wrapped. No samples may be given out.
• All items must be homemade. This is a craft sale for homemade items, not those made by mass production. Anyone displaying mass-produced items will be asked to remove those items from the sale.
• We are always pleased to host this community event featuring your creative items. We look forward to working with all of you. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns you may have.
• Thank you! Bazaar team
