FPCA Bazaarnival

The Bazaarnival is a gigantic rummage sale held the last Saturday in July on the FPCA parking lot and inside the church.  This is an opportunity for members and their friends and families to contribute time, talent and "treasure" to the church.  Throughout the year donations are collected and stored for this big event.  Dedicated workers divide up all the donations, and set up different rooms for adult clothing, children's toys and clothing, special things (china and jewelry), holiday items, and one big room full of miscellaneous items, large and small.  Everything is sold at very reasonable prices, so everyone can come and shop.

There is a silent auction where interesting things, even a special award-winning Apple Pie, are auctioned after noon.  And each year raffle tickets are sold for a beautiful quilt.

Saturday morning the workers and shoppers can enjoy a wonderful pancake breakfast.  Throughout the morning and early afternoon grilled hamburgers, hotdogs (with grilled onions on the side!), nachos and soft drinks are available at a very reasonable prices. 

The Bazaarnival is a big mission outreach for FPCA and in spite of the hard work involved, it is a wonderful time of good fellowship too!
