The Papoose Club will welcome 72 vendors—the most it’s had in years—to its 32nd Holiday Bazaar.
The bazaar will be held Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 2 and 3, at Hemingway STEAM School, 111 8th St. West in Ketchum.
It’ll run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. Santa is expected to drop in from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
There’ll be an array of juried gift items lovingly crafted by Idaho artisans, as well as glass blowing demonstrations and lessons. Papoose Club members and friends are baking dozens of unique holiday cookies to be sold by the dozen.
There’ll also be fresh homemade soups at the Soup Café, live music and a raffle and door prizes.
Shoppers are encouraged to bring their own clean reusable containers, water bottles, totes, bags and tins for cookies, soups and holiday purchases.
The proceeds from the bazaar will be used for various projects benefitting youth around the Wood River Valley. This is the club’s 70th year raising funds for the youth of Blaine County, according to Papoose Club member Krista Gehrke.
