Start your holiday shopping early by stopping in at The Holmstad’s 39th Annual Bazaar, “Creative Gifts and More,” on Saturday, Oct. 8, 2016, 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., in the community’s Town Center, located at 700 W. Fabyan Parkway, Batavia, Ill. Come early for the bargains. The Holmstad is a faith-based, not-for-profit continuing care retirement community administered by Covenant Retirement Communities.

This year’s bazaar features “Creative Gifts and More,” such as boutique, collectibles, fine homemade goods and crafts, including unique glass fusion pieces, Christmas cards, jewelry, and woodworking items created by resident artists. Browse through a variety of gift ideas, including books, plants, gourmet nuts, and delicious homemade baked goods. Gently used items found at the community’s This ‘n’ That shop are also available for sale.

A gift basket containing items from various shops and The Holmstad sales team will be raffled off, as well as a 71-inch x 58-inch silk tie patch quilt handmade by ladies of The Holmstad.

While on campus, peruse The Holmstad’s Gift Store and Home Store for gently used furniture. Take a break from shopping to enjoy a light lunch available for purchase without reservations.

The Holmstad Residents Association sponsors the Holiday Bazaar each year. Profits contribute to the association’s financial support of various causes throughout the year, including college scholarships for graduating high school seniors employed by The Holmstad; the Good Samaritan Fund and The Benevolent Fund to assist financially challenged residents; the Batavia Public Library; and the Batavia Fire Department, to name a few.
