The Blaine County Fair Foundation invites surrounding communities to its First Annual Holiday Shopping Extravaganza on December 14 from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. in the Commercial Building at the Blaine County Fairgrounds. The primary purpose of this event is to generate the funds needed for completing and operating the Indoor Event Center.

As of last week, twenty-five vendors had already reserved their tables for this bazaar style shopping event where local artisans, hobbyists, small businesses, and other individuals will showcase their crafts and sell their wares. Expressing pleasure in the number of vendors and the variety of merchandise that will be available, Fair Manager, Debbie Ramberg reported the following list of registered participants:

Since there was still time for vendors to register during the past week, Ramberg said: “Don’t be surprised if we don’t have even more vendors on Saturday.”

Lunch will also be available for purchase by shoppers at the Holiday Shopping Extravaganza. Ramberg will be preparing Cheeseburger Soup, White Chicken Chili, and homemade dinner rolls.
