MARYVILLE, Mo. — Although there may not be an election to vote in this November, there will still be the annual United Methodist Women’s Election Day Bazaar.

Scheduled for Nov. 5, the bazaar’s theme this year is “Celebrating 150 Years of United Methodist Women.” The doors open at 7 a.m. with donuts, coffee and juice. The many booths also open at 7 a.m., offering hand-sewn items, jams and jellies, bake sale goodies, books and many other assorted gifts.

The noon meal featuring the traditional vegetable soup, salads and homemade pies is from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.

At 1:15, a drawing will be held for the winner of this year’s quilt, hand-pieced and hand-stitched quilt made by the FUMC Quilters. This annual fundraiser raises money for missions supported by the UMW.

More information is available from event co-chairs Christie Ross and Delma Goodspeed.
