It isn’t quite yet Halloween but members of the Escalon United Methodist Church, 2000 Jackson Ave., are already in a holiday frame of mind and invite the community to their Saturday, Oct. 27 Holiday Bazaar. Here, members Judy Downard, left, Duane Zier and Linda Zier show some of the items that will be available. Hours for the bazaar are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Handmade crafts, holiday items, needlework, a drawing for an opportunity quilt, homemade jams and jellies and frozen ready-to-bake homemade pies will all be available, plus the traditional soup and pie luncheon can be purchased for $8.
