People have been asking if Bizarre BAZAAR will be back, and we’re happy to say, YES!  The weekly celebration of local artists, crafters, and entrepreneurs returns for 2008.  Due to construction at the Old Courthouse, this year the Bazaar moves to the Flag Plaza across from Interior Savings Centre each Thursday evening, 4pm - 8pm, through the summer.  Items will include paintings, photography, sculpture, pottery, jewelry, stained glass, clothing, candles, agri and food products and much more. Drop in to Cunliffe House on Thursday evening to see the co-op members new work in the Courthouse Gallery space.
