Indiana Business Opportunity Partners will hold its ninth annual “Winter Wonderland” bazaar and charity quarter paddle auction for Isaiah 11 Ministry on Nov. 9 at the Baker Youth Club in Warsaw.
In addition to the bazaar and quarter daddle auction, iBOP members have also donated an item from their individual businesses to a raffle basket valued at over $130 that will benefit Combined Community Services.
The bazaar is free for all ages and is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The first 25 people aged 18 and over through the doors will receive a free swag bag containing coupons, specials or instant win prizes.
The quarter auction doors open at noon and the auction begins at 1 p.m. You must be age 18 or older to attend the quarter paddle action.
A ticket is required for the quarter paddle auction portion of the event. Tickets are $5 in advance, as seating is limited, and $7 at the door, if any remain. For tickets, contact iBOP President Betty Swanson at 574-527-6005 or leave a message on the iBOP Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ibopfans.
“This is a new way for direct sales vendors and area artisans to showcase their businesses to customers. A quarter paddle auction gives the customer a fun-filled forum to learn who the vendor is, what products they have available and how to obtain them, all while supporting a local not-for-profit charity,” said Swanson.
Tickets are sold for this portion of the event and you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in the quarter paddle auction. This is a gaming event; legally licensed by the Indiana Gaming Commission.
At a quarter paddle auction, there are over 100 items to bid on from direct sales consultants and handcrafted items from area artisans for the event. It is a way to support a local charity and possibly pick up some gifts.
Swanson said there are still a few remaining booth spaces available for direct sales or hand-crafted artisans for this event.
Isaiah 11 Ministry works to help individuals that are struggling with life issues to find comfort and healing using animals along with Biblical and clinical principles.
Isaiah 11 Ministry is currently seeking volunteers to help with the event. Contact Linda Ozier, of Isaiah 11. or Swanson for more information on volunteering.
