Artists and craftspeople are invited to submit applications for participating in the annual Holiday Bazaar of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Corvallis, which will be held on Saturday, December 6, 2003.

Once again, the emphasis is on original works of art and crafts.

The booth may be staffed by the artists or the organizers can provide staffing. For an application or more information, contact Loreen Olufson (541)754-6207 (evenings) or loreeno@proaxis.com
