The Bazaar is a very important part of the parish year at Our Lady of the Lake. The 2023 Parish Bazaar is scheduled for Friday, September 8th, from 5pm to 10pm & Saturday, September 9th, from noon to 10pm.
Although this is only two days, a tremendous amount of preparation will be necessary to make this year's Bazaar a success. There are many opportunities to serve the Parish by volunteering to:
Help plan the Bazaar
Help setup & take down the Bazaar
Captain or help run a booth
Run a game
Cook and serve food
Sell raffle tickets
Donate items for the various sales
Help pick up and organize donations

In addition to helping the Parish meet its goals by volunteering at the Bazaar, there are many opportunities to meet and work side-by-side with your fellow parishioners, leading to lasting relationships within the parish community.
