The Episcopal Church of the Advent is hosting its Community Bazaar on November 19 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Come out and enjoy lunch, shopping for art, baked goods, clothes and various items to stock your freezer. The Bazaar will be held in the church’s parish life building, 141 Advent Street. Since 1997, the Bazaar has raised more than $500,000 for local, national and international charities.
This year, the Advent earned a total of 13 ribbons including a “Best in Fair” at the South Carolina State Fair for its canned goods. First place blue ribbons were awarded for pickled beets, pickles, vidalia onion relish, pickled peaches, red peppered jelly, green pepper jelly, bread and butter pickles and strawberry jam. Second place awards were given for cranberry chutney, blueberry jam, and peppered strawberry jam. Corn relish and okra pickles won third place ribbons.
A highlight of this year’s event will be the unveiling of a new cookbook featuring more than 750 recipes.
