Winter Bazaar was a little smaller this season

This year's Winter Bazaar was a little smaller this season with 20 venders and steady stream of shoppers. The event was organized by Dawn Meyers and sponsored by the Nelson Community Club. It brought in around $400 for the club. The Nelson Volunteer Fire Department put on a free will donation Soup Lunch for the event, and although the crowd wasn't what it had been in years past, the department still made a profit. Several communities also held vender shows the same day as the Winter Bazaar. Dawn has been in communication with the individuals that plan them in hopes of coordinating a passport tour type of event, where shoppers will receive a raffle ticket for each show they attend and be entered into a drawing to receive a prize.
