BELLA VISTA — The Bella Vista Property Owners Association is preparing to host its annual Christmas Bazaar, and organizers are expecting a bigger turnout than in previous years.

The event, which will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5, at Riordan Hall, gives residents and guests a chance to browse, have fun, enjoy some planned entertainment and shop for unique items, according to a POA news release.

The 2011 Christmas Bazaar will feature new talent and local legends offering imaginative, handmade gifts and fine art that range from sophisticated to funky, the release states. Merchandise will include jewelry, bows, wreaths, photography, toys, soaps, food items, home accessories and more.

Eight-foot tables in the auditorium can be rented for $30 each or $50 for two. Tables are limited to two per individual.
