Our Viewpoint

Strolling through the aisles at the local holiday bazaars the last couple of weekends, we've been amazed at the local talent.

You recognize people from the grocery store or the post office, but it's awesome to see them in another venue, showing off their creative talents. From knitted and crocheted items to baked goods and woodworking, the unique creations were abundant. It sure helped as we were doing some Christmas shopping, and it made us feel great to be able to support local businesses and vendors.

Often, while visiting the bazaars, it's easy to think "oh I could make that," but what we've come to realize is that we won't take the time. These local craftsmen and women take the time to make some incredible creations, so we're happy to support them.

Maybe some of you talented crafters have suggestions for the oodles and oodles of pool noodles left over from the Ledger parade float.
