Kester said she is excited they can finally hold the event because the Mason Ohio Star Quilters want to give back to the Church that has hosted their group for over 20 years.
“I’m looking forward to talking with shoppers that come in …, and we’re looking forward to the proceeds from the things we’ve made because it will all be donated back to the Methodist Church,” Kester said.
Burns said he saw how hard the pandemic affected the Mason Ohio Star Quilters and other small businesses, so he decided to open the Homemade Craft Bazaar to other crafters.
“We wanted to hold this event to celebrate Christmas in July and celebrate things opening up again,” Burns said.
Bob Desgrange is one of the small business owners showcasing his work at the Homemade Craft Bazaar. Desgrange is the founder and owner of I’d Rather Be Woodturning, specializing in homemade wood-turned bowls.
