VALE – Something about a hometown holiday bazaar adds to the festivity of the season, and that was true recently at the Vale Senior Center.
Vendors packed the main hall at the center, selling handcrafted tree decorations, aprons, wood boxes and more. During lulls, the crafters roamed, checking out other vendors and trading small talk.
In the kitchen, a crew dished up pulled pork sandwiches, ham-and-bean soup and large nut rolls, all freshly made.
