Tips & Advice

  • Plan to buy adult admission at the entrance, since adult tickets are only sold at the door and children 15 and under get in free.
  • Check that each vendor writes their name on your drawing ticket, because tickets without a vendor name aren't eligible for the Grand Prize drawing.
  • Stay on the floor around each half hour, when hourly prize names are drawn, since you have to be present to win.
  • Call Carol ahead to reserve a seat in the Pressed Flowers class, a hands-on project that takes about 45 minutes.
  • Leave time to join Chupp's Annual Furniture Auction, which runs alongside the bazaar so you can bid between vendor stops.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Pressed Flowers "Make It & Take It" class with Carol, twice on Friday and once on Saturday (reserve by phone).
  • Chupp's Annual Furniture Auction runs during the bazaar.
  • Grand Prize drawings with tickets earned from vendor purchases; you don't need to be present to win.
  • Hourly prize drawings on the half hour; you must be present to win.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I shop for?

Hundreds of vendors sell knick-knacks and collectibles, from handmade artisan crafts to specialty antiques. You'll also find candies, baked goods, soaps, jewelry, woodwork, books, afghans and more from Michiana artisans.

Is there anything to do besides shopping?

Yes. You can take part in Chupp's Annual Furniture Auction while you shop. You can also join the Pressed Flowers "Make It & Take It" class with Carol.

What is the Pressed Flowers class?

It's a hands-on "Make It & Take It" project that takes about 45 minutes. You make a Christmas card, a see-through piece or a rechargeable LED lantern. Call Carol to reserve a spot.

How do the prize drawings work?

Vendors hand out a Grand Prize drawing ticket for each qualifying amount you spend. The ticket needs the vendor's name on it, and you don't have to be present to win. Hourly prize names are drawn on the half hour, and you must be there to win.

How can I become a vendor?

Download the vendor application and mail it in. Last year's vendors get first chance, and organizers screen applications to avoid vendors with similar items.
