A wonderful array of handcrafted items will be on sale at the annual Country Bazaar on Thursday and Friday, October 21-22, at the Methodist Church, 801 Via de la Paz. The women of the church have been working for months to produce unique gifts and Christmas decorations. An exquisite hand-crafted, cross-stitched quilt will be featured in the opportunity drawing, and a number of fine quilts and special items will be on the silent auction tables. The collectibles table will feature both antiques and jewelry. Early-bird shoppers can come on Thursday, October 21 from 7 to 9 p.m. for $5 admission, which includes a selection of desserts and a beverage. The Bazaar is open on Friday, October 22 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with no admission charge. This day also features a gourmet luncheon for $15. It has gained such acclaim that there are two seatings this year: 11:15 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. For reservations (required) call 310-459-0334. Proceeds from the bazaar help to support the church’s various philanthropies, including the Westside Food Bank, Treasure Island, an afterschool program for children, OPCC, the Homer Toberman House settlement house in San Pedro, and Heifer International.
