Elmira High School was a host location for students and local businesses in the Holiday Bazaar on Nov. 23.
The annual event was split up across the Veneta-Elmira area and Junction City, and ran from Nov. 22 to Nov. 23.
The market featured two third-party vendors and four student-owned tables.
The student-led coffee cart sold drinks during the event and the Leadership class had a table selling wreaths to raise funds for the class.
Senior Awbrey Flowers was also set at the Leadership table to sell candles from a family shop in Washington, who then donated a portion of the earnings to the Leadership class.
The senior class of 2025 held a baked goods sale located at the front of the school bazaar. The items were homemade by seniors and were sold to raise funds for their grad night.
In total, the seniors raised $550, adding an impressive amount to their budget.
Senior Jude Carman partnered with junior Hannah Yaskovic to set up a table at the bazaar to sell their original art pieces.
“It was pretty slow-going,” Carman said, “but it was fun.”
Carman sold three of his art pieces and Yaskovic sold one, but had many commissions.
Sophomore Tommy Nielsen partnered with ninth-grader Christina Richey to have a knickknack table, selling unique rocks and other abstract items.
“There were a lot of friendly faces,” Nielsen told Falcon News. “We sold a lot of stuff.”
Senior Fernanda Valle-Arvizu sold cheesecake and piñatas made by her family in the aux gym with the other vendors.
The bazaar at EHS wasn’t as popular as Leadership had hoped for, lacking shoppers and vendors alike. However, the class is looking ahead to next year as EHS becomes a more established location for the event.
