Yule Bazaar
• Santa Will Arrive
At 5 P.M. Dec. 2
# Christmas Choir Will
Sing at Inlet Inn
Twelve booths have been engag
ed at the Beaufort Christmas Fes
tival bazaar, announces Mrs. Em
ily Clyde Lewis, chairman.
The bazaar will be part of the
' hctiv'ties opening the Christmas
season and will be held in tents on
the vacant lot east of Queen Street.
The following organizations have
thus far engaged booths: Ann
Street Methodist Wesleyan Guild,
Straits Methodist church, Otway
Christian church, the community
of Davis, Beaufort PTA, Miriam
Rebekahs, Sea and Sand Garden
club, Russells Creek circle, Beau
fort FHA, Ann Neal circle of Beau
fort, Thelma Cash circle of Mar
^fiallberg, and the Free Will Bap
tist league of Beaufort.
Organizations or communities
wanting to reserve booths should
do so immediately. They may sell
at the booths anything they wish,
handmade articles, baked goods,
refreshments, or merely have a
display of items representative of
their community or club.
Booths may be reserved by con
/ tacting Mrs. Lewis or William Roy
Hamilton. Only 15 are available.
t There is no charge for them.
They will open at 3 p.m. the day
of the Christmas parade, Friday,
Dec. 2. The bazaar will continue
that night. If some of the groups
wish, Mrs. Lewis said, they may
continue selling at the booths the
next day.
One of the organizations plans to
serve a full meal. Because of the
tremendous crowd which attended
liie activities launching the Christ
mas season last year, many
weren’t able to get supper. Mrs.
Lewis expressed the hope that the
refreshment booths and the sup
per booth will solve that problem
this year.
If some of the booths want to
open before 3 p.m., they may do
so, she said. Each organization
having a booth may keep any of
the profit it realizes.
Organ music recorded by Earl
Smith, Beaufort, will be played and
auto dealers will have 1961 auto
mobiles on display. Dealers par
ticipating will be Paul Motor Co.,
Sound Chevrolet, Hardesty Motors,
Lewis-Price and Parker Motors.
The center lot, next to the bazaar
tents, will be Santa Claus Lane.
At 5 p.m. Santa Claus.will be
escorted to Santa Claus Lane. A
fairy queen and elves will help
children to the platform where they
can talk to Santa Claus. Parents,
meanwhile, will be entertained by
band music.
A special attraction in the Santa
Claus escort will be the Batonettes
of Havelock, girls 6 to 12 years of
age under the direction of Miss
Norma Larko, who do marching
and twirling routines. They have
appeared in Goldsboro, New Bern
and other eastern Carolina towns.
Firemen will erect a large Christ
, mas tree in Santa Claus lane and
a mailbox for letters to Santa will
be located there.

eastern communities, will sing at

of Beaufort will erect a nativity
scene.
