An amazing group of people are the heart and soul of this phenomenal experience!
It truly takes a team to get the Bazaar ready for everyone year after year. We go from just a few core people working on buying, the website and online orders during the colder months to a team of 40 - 50 during the Bazaar! Not to forget all of the staff at our amazing vendors either.
