It won’t be too early to develop the Christmas spirit at the Fourth Annual St. Roch’s Christmas Bazaar to be held Saturday, November 14 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday, November 15 from noon to 2 p.m. in the Church Hall at Waterman and Rosedale. Smart shoppers will be able to stock up on new ornaments and decorations as well as hand-crafted gift items such as toys and baby clothes. Those who are feeling lucky can take chances on raffle items that will make special gifts on Christmas morning. Good managers will find bakery items to please the whole family and put them in the mood for Christmas baking and cooking. Santa will visit Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will be available for photos and for hearing wish lists firsthand.

A light lunch and a continental breakfast will be served both Saturday and Sunday for shoppers who need a refreshing break or a chance to talk to neighborhood friends. Children are encouraged to shop at the “For Children Only” booth where specially chosen gifts priced at $1 or less will be gift wrapped on the spot to keep family and friends in the dark until Christmas morning. Proceeds from the Bazaar will support the activities of the Women of St. Roch, an organization of parish women dedicated to raising funds and providing resources to meet parish needs. Don’t forget to mark the calendar now for the St. Roch’s Bazaar, and join neighbors, old friends and new friends to savor the beginning of the 1987 holiday season.
