KooVALDOSTA – The United Methodist Women from Park Avenue United Methodist Church will hold a bazaar Saturday, November 10, from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m. in the church fellowship hall. There will be many Christmas craft items from which to choose, as well as handmade doll clothes (fits Barbie and American Girl), fine items from the upscale shop, vintage linens, and treats from the sweet shop and candy shop.  The bazaar will also feature a country store, frozen casseroles, meat market and soups, two jewelry booths, trash to treasure, and much more.
