The Island Seniors Holiday Bazaar, staged last Saturday at the' Sanibel Senior Center, again drew hordes of bargain-hunt- ing shoppers from near and far. Event coordinator Yolande S3 Welch, stationed next to the Trash & Treasures Room, report- ed success from the start of the sales day. re "Before the doors were opened, we had people piled up •a outside... and they still got in!" she noted with a smile. "We've © ^*> had a steady stream of customers all morning long. It's really re great to see the community giving us so much support." <1 In addition to the Trash & Treasures Room, shoppers mean- dered throughout the building, which was divided into seven different sections: Arts & Crafts, Baked Goods, Books, Outdoor Plants & Gifts, Refreshments and a lounge area. The largest area — Arts & Crafts — featured 19 vendors, who offered merchandise ranging from hand-crafted jewelry and knitted goods to wood and stone sculptures, glassware, Christmas ornaments, holiday-themed gifts and homemade pickles. "I really enjoy meeting all of the people," said vendor Sonja Langdon, a Sanibel resident for more than 10 years who was participating in the bazaar for the fourth time. "You can make a lot of new friends. I've seen some people who are my neigh- bors and some I've seen from around the island. Everybody comes here."

ALL PHOTOS JEFF LYSIAK Doris Southerton grills up some hot dogs for patrons of the Holiday Bazaar.

"I've seen a lot of tourists," added fellow vendor Mandy Boran, who was selling handmade crafts and Party Lite Candles. "It's interesting to talk with them to see where they're from.". Beyond the rear door of the building, customers could peruse the assortment of potted plants offered for sale or relax with a grilled hot dog, a cookie or a soft drink. But inside, most of the people attending the event spent the morning shopping for unique holiday gift items or simply socializing with old friends. "This [bazaar] has been going on for at least 20 years," Amon added. 'They used to have it at the Community Center and then the school, but it got too big. And it's still one of the most popular events on Sanibel."

Chamberlain wins Turkey Shoot at LOGOS The LOGOS children recently spent a fun-filled night learning about thankfulness. The evening ended with their annual "Turkey Shoot" game. Each child tried to hit the wooden turkey's nose with a finger dart. This year's win- ner was Katie Chamberlain, who fired-off a perfect shot. The children dined on turkey dinner with all of the trim- mings! They sang a "Thank You" song to the cooks to the tune of "Over The River." The LOGOS children also prac- ticed a worship song that they performed at the Sanibel Community Center's Thanksgiving Program on Sunday night. LOGOS is held on Wednesdays from 3:30 to 7 p.m. at Sanibel Community Church. If you would like your child to participate in LOGOS, please call 472-2684 to register.
