Holiday Baar Bazaar ‘08 from Dan Nixon on Vimeo.

The Holiday Baar Bazaar was so much fun! We had a fantastic mix of vendors and shoppers, three awesome bands, and the turnout was amazing!!!

Check out our pics here! If you have pictures you’d like to share, please send them to me at bethany[at]rewarevintage[dot]com, and I’ll include them in the Flickr set.

Thanks so much to everyone who came, our amazing vendors, the entire Majestic staff, and to all the blogs and people who helped promote it - especially WDET, Callie Cat, and Motor City Blog! Thanks too, to the bands who performed - Rogue Satellites, Tone & Niche, and Apt 4!

Extra special thanks to Phil from the Majestic who coordinated the bands and all the behind-the-scenes details!!!

Tomorrow is the Holiday Baar Bazaar, and I’m so excited!  It’s gonna be great - come by if you can!!!

This year’s Holiday Baar Bazaar is bigger and better than ever before! We’ve moved the Baar Bazaar into the Majestic Theatre, and we are excited to have Rogue Satellites, Tone & Niche and APT 4 playing while you shop! As always, admission is free, doors open at 8pm, and this is an all ages event.

We had such an awesome time at Detroit Urban Craft Fair! I don’t think I could ever really explain the inspiration and awe I have each year at the whole DUCF experience, but I’d like to thank every vendor and customer who participated and made the day wonderful and incredibly fun.

My biggest thanks go out to the other members of Handmade Detroit. Amy, Care, Lish and Stephanie - you all inspire me to no end. I am so proud to work with you on such an AWESOME event!!!!
