Summary

The November 1968 Beaver Beacon announced the annual Christmas Bazaar for December 15. The December issue reported that the bazaar was held at the Parish Hall with a candy booth, fish pond, Women’s Circle booth, prizes, a potluck supper, a school play, and Santa Claus distributing candy to children.

Evidence and limits

The two notices establish the planned date and reported program, but not attendance, proceeds, or a complete organizational record.
