Blaine Countians could chose among several holiday bazaars this past weekend. The local bazaars have their roots in the Christmas bazaars, or "Christ child markets," that began in Germany in the late 1200's. Many of those early European bazaars still operate during Advent (from the first Sunday in December to Christmas Eve) and attract millions of visitors, having become a major draw for tourists. While the bazaars in Blaine County are more modest in size and length, they play a major role in...

Reporter's note: I believe the first time I saw Roy Case, and the line of "unique Montana-style birdhouses" he builds and sells, was at the Seed Show in Harlem last year. Since then I've seen him at other bazaars and community events. He's created a style of birdhouse that is beyond the more traditional with just four walls and a roof. His birdhouses are eye-catching and require some close examination to really see and appreciate their detail and distinctive style. On Roy's business card, after...

For more than a year Bonnie Hellman, of Chinook, has been using her sewing skills to help orphans in Haiti. The retired elementary teacher collects (she taught 27 years in Harlem), cuts and sews cotton t-shirts in to 'diapers' that eventually are used in four orphanages on the Caribbean island.
