47th Annual Holmstad Bazaar
Celebrating the Craftsmanship of Holmstad Bazaar Artisans
The annual Bazaar doesn’t raise revenue by charging admission or selling space to craft vendors. Starting each February, residents begin creating, growing, and donating what we offer at the September 20 Bazaar. Residents also invite you to explore the Bazaar shops that have secondhand furniture, household items, books and jewelry. And don’t forget the Bake Shop with lots of goodies baked by residents.

Laura loves bringing joy to others with her weavings.“It’s the one thing I do during which I totally lose track of time.”
Rich Jacobson
Rich donates both the wood and his time saying, “It’s a good way to contribute to Holmstad’s Benevolent Care Fund.”
Marina Wray
Marina has never sold a quilt. “I give them away because I enjoy the look on someone’s face when they pick one of them out.” The Holmstad Bazaar is fortunate to be the recipient of her Christmas-themed quilt.
