Put away your cobwebs and skeletons because the most wonderful time of the year is right around the corner.

The Women's Guild of St. Mary Star of the Sea will host its annual Christmas Bazaar from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 9 in Father Pick Hall, 4240 Gulf of Mexico Drive.

The ladies from the Women's Guild have curated a collection of handmade ornaments, trees, wreaths and other holiday-themed trinkets. People will also be able to enjoy a variety of baked goods at the Bazaar.

Co-chairs Bonnie Schneider, Catherine Costello and Maggie Oberst have been leading meetings about the event for the past two months. After the bazaar was a self-serve boutique last year, they are excited to have an official event again to celebrate their hard work.
