High Country Hospice is getting things organized for its annual
bazaar.
The Hospice Bazaar is taking place this spring, instead of in
the fall due to the tremendous support the community has provided
for the event in donating items, a spokesperson for hospice said.
The goals for the High Country Hospice Bazaar include raising
funds to support hospice patient services and raising awareness
and understanding of the needs of people living with a life-limiting
illness and their families.
The Hospice Bazaar will be held Friday, June 19, from 8 a.m. to
6 p.m. and Saturday, June 20, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the National
Guard Armory in Boone.
Janet Trivett, volunteer coordinator for High Country Hospice,
said the bazaar will be even better than last year, with better
quality and a wider array of items, including new items, and better
organization.
The bazaar will have plenty of items for sale, including furniture,
gently used adult and children clothing, holiday decorations,
outdoor items, such as grills, car accessories, childrens
toys, vintage items, glassware, books and more.
There will also be a silent auction including a vintage speed
boy delivery toy, NASCAR knife set, Coke collectible and many
other items donated by Hospice supporters.
Information about hospice services will also be available.
For more than 25 years, Hospice has provided Watauga County with
choices, relief from pain and eased worries, the spokesperson
said.
High Country Health Care System Hospice serves Watauga, Ashe and
Alleghany counties. For more information on High Country Health
