American Legion’s Harvest Bazaar Raises Funds for Disabled Vets

On a crisp, sunny Sunday in October, several vendors had already gathered by 7 a.m., waiting for the American Legion Post 155 doors to open for the Post’s first annual Harvest Bazaar. Vendors—39 in total—were eager to unload and settle in with their wares. There were many homemade items such as blankets, holiday aprons, slippers, scarves, wraps and holiday crafts. Other vendors had custom-made lockets, purses, totes and compacts to sell. Casa De Flores brought in a display of arts and crafts in celebration of “Dia de los Muertos” (Day of the Dead). There was a collection of vintage jewelry for sale that brought many memories of mothers and grandmothers. Also homemade was an assortment of Native American jewelry that displayed the crafters’ many talents. In the kitchen, homemade menudo, tortillas and chicharrones burritos being prepared kept a steady stream of customers until everything sold out by 11 that morning. Outside, the scent of carne asada tacos, rice and beans also brought in many hungry customers. The smell of roasted corn brought a sense of fall to the ambiance. Although the car and bike show was cancelled due to medical and family emergencies beyond the group’s control, a steady stream of customers kept the Bazaar going until 3 p.m. Sunday afternoon. Plans are already being coordinated for a 2nd Harvest Bazaar in October 2014. All proceeds will go to fund the needs of disabled veterans’ families and to support activities for children and youth.
