About 110 Lawrence artists and vendors will display their works and wares Sunday at the annual Holiday Bazaar.

The event will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Community Building, 115 W. 11th St.

Area groups will perform holiday music. The Plymouth Congregational Church Bell Choir and the Central Junior High School Ensemble Choir are among the groups scheduled to perform.

“It’s a family event. The bazaar has drawn as many as 6,000 people to Lawrence from across Kansas,” said Duane Peterson, special events supervisor at the Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department, which sponsors the bazaar.

One of the featured artists this year is Robert Johnson, who has been making woodcrafts for several years. This will be his first year in the bazaar.

“My dad used to do woodworking, and I got into it with him,” Johnson said. “And then I made a lot of things for Christmas gifts, so we decided to do it this year.”

Johnson’s crafts have a country flair: wooden serving trays, letter holders, birdhouses and country antique replicas such as cranberry scoops and lantern holders.

“I make things for everybody else, and this year I decided to make some wooden toys for myself. Of course my grandsons have seen them, and now they want some,” Johnson said.

Johnson’s wife, Fran, is also participating in her first Holiday Bazaar. She makes dried and silk floral arrangements and Christmas wreaths.
