Bayside Holiday Market Features 27 Artisans and Crafters

This is a press release from Amy’s Almost Perfect:

After a successful Black Friday opening, the Bayside Holiday Market is now open five days a week featuring 27 of the community’s favorite local artisans and crafters.

The Market is located in the Bayside Community Hall at 2297 Jacoby Creek Road in Bayside. Hours are Noon-7 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday and Noon-4 p.m. Sundays through Dec. 19.

The Bayside Holiday Market was created this year in response to so many of the usual local craft fairs being forced to scale back or cancel. It was organized by Amy Whitlatch of Amy’s Almost Perfect, and each of the vendors contributed to the cost of operations and marketing.

The market has been approved by the county, and all health and safety rules are being followed. Unlike at a typical craft fair, individual vendors will not be present. Instead, they have set up and stocked their displays in advance, and shoppers can gather items and pay at a single check-out point.

The market is accepting both credit cards and cash.

The Holiday Market includes goods from the following artisans and crafters:

• Amy’s Almost Perfect
• Frog 1 Frog 2
• Christina Anastasia
• K Loop Design
• Pen & Pine
• Rebekah Evans Acrylic Pour Art
• The Garlic People
• Diane Sweet Heat

Those who want to support local charities are encouraged to shop on Thursdays, when 10% of gross proceeds will be donated. The charities and the days they benefit are: Boys and Girls Club of the Redwoods on Dec. 3, Soroptimist International of Eureka on Dec. 10, and Sequoia Humane Society on Dec. 17.
