The Annual Friends of the Library Craft Bazaar and Book Sale was held on Dec. 2 at the Superior School Elementary Gym. Vendors lined the room as patrons wandered around looking at jewelry, lotions, sweets, and other items.

Soup was also sold by the bowl and holiday music filled the air as musicians Patsey Foote played the viola, while George Regan and Bear played the guitar. Staci McGrew had stayed up most of the night making last minute cookies to stock her table. With mini pies, peppermint cookies, and chocolate dipped treats.
