Starting the season of giving

PRAIRIE CITY — Grant County residents can get some early Christmas shopping done and throw their names into the mix for a cache of raffle items at one of Grant County’s oldest Christmas celebrations. The American Legion Auxiliary Holiday Bazaar and Raffle is set for Saturday, Nov. 21, at the Prairie City School gymnasium, 740 Overholt Ave. The bazaar will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and feature 24 vendors offering mostly handmade items such as metal horseshoe works, wooden toys, crocheted items, homemade pies and more. American Legion Auxiliary President Lisa Rynearson said all the vendors are local artisans or bakers. The raffle portion of the bazaar will feature a cord of firewood, a $100 gift certificate to Huffman’s Market in Prairie City, a gift card to the Oxbow Dinner House and Pizza Company in Prairie City, and four assorted gift baskets. “I don’t know what is going to be in those baskets because I haven’t seen them yet,” Rynearson said.
