In Pictures: the 2013 Crime Stoppers No Host Bazaar

By David F. Rooney

Crime Stoppers’ No Host Bazaar was commercial success as hundreds of people young and old browsed through the products on sale by 61 vendors on Sunday, December 1.

I picked up a few things for those I love as I am sure many of my fellow citizens did, too. I always like the bazaars and sales our local organizations stage each year. They’re a great way to shop locally and the quality is almost always high so you’re pretty certain of getting true value for your bucks.

Here are a few photos of this year’s Crime Stoppers No Host Bazaar:
