St. Andrew’s Bazaar Said Successful

KENT—The St. Andrew’s Church Christmas Bazaar did very well last weekend, according to spokesman Marel Rogers, who said attendees were eager to shop and several made generous donations.

A feature of the day was the raffle for a magnificent doll house that had been donated to the church. In recent weeks the church reached out to parishioners in search of artists, furnishings and accessories for a 1:12-inch scale doll house to make it festive.

Rogers had no word this week on the winner, but said the woman apparently wants to donate it to a museum. 

“Food sold out completely,” Rogers reported, “and everyone who won a door prize is ‘giddybonkers’ over their winnings. Thank you everyone for supporting St. Andrew’s.”
