A variety of local artists and vendors displayed their wares at a Holiday Bazaar at the Augusta High School on Saturday, November 2. Shoppers could find everything from jewelry to cleaning products to knitted scarves as they browsed through a wide array of products. Along the way, they could also make donations to the Augusta Public Library and to a fund that helps breast cancer patients. They could also purchase a delectable array of baked goods from students who were raising money for FCCLA. It was a great way to support local businesses and organizations while getting some Christmas shopping done in the process.
