For the second year in a row, the Timberline Blazer Bazaar fell on a gorgeous fall day, possibly contributing to a second year of lower-than-expected attendance. This bazaar is one of the earliest of the holiday season, and possibly one of the best bargains around for vendors.
Cal Anderson, band director, did a great job organizing the event, despite the challenges of multiple moves during the school's remodel. Timberline High School's new Commons easily accommodated over 40 combined commercial vendors and local artisans. Cal's booths were generous in size (all 10x12 or bigger); he provided a free lunch; and as usual, free coffee and free bottled water were always available. He staffs it every year with band students, who pay very good attention to the vendors and do an excellent job taking care of them with beverages and snacks.
The vendors I spoke with are looking forward to seeing what this bazaar can become when the school's full remodel is complete, we have two gyms, and the new Commons all available. I hope to see you there in 2009.
