Holiday Bazaar to Benefit Dahlem Center

Saturday & Sunday, December 1&2, George E. Potter Center

                Searching for that truly unique holiday gift?  How about a natural beeswax candle or one-of-a-kind evergreen wreath?  Find these and much more when the Dahlem Environmental Education Center at Jackson Community College and the Michigan Audubon Society will host their annual Holiday Bazaar on December 1&2 in the Federer Rooms of the George E. Potter Center.  The event will run from 10-4 p.m. Saturday, and noon to 4 p.m. Sunday.

                Choose from a selection of gift ideas from the Audubon and Dahlem Gift Shop materials and more at this year's event.   Hand-made items will be created and donated by volunteers with proceeds going to support educational programs and services of either the Michigan Audubon Society or the Dahlem Environmental Education Center.  Featured sale items include: unique hand-crafted gifts and tree trims, fresh wreaths and door sprays, beeswax candles, hand-knit items, animal puppets, jewelry and clothing.  There will be bird feeding supplies, such as suet and seed feeders, and a truckload sale on birdseed (sunflower, thistle, and wild bird mixes). 

An added attraction is the Friends of Dahlem "bake sale" which features cookies, cakes, holiday breads and other homemade treats.  Bring the kids along as well - from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, they can make their own finger puppets, or enjoy holiday stories with puppets from Nancy McCormack at 1 & 3 p.m. Saturday. 

                Gift memberships and additional information will also be available for both organizations.  The Dahlem Center, located just west of JCC's main campus at 7117 S. Jackson Road, Jackson, features 300 acres and five miles of trails.
