The event is an opportunity for artists and other vendors to showcase their arts, and for island residents and visitors to get an early start on buying unique and beautiful gifts for the holidays. The daylong event is also graced by performances throughout the day by various community cultural and arts groups, as well as raffles with prizes generously donated by community businesses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re looking forward to another year of showcasing our island\u2019s arts, crafts and gifts. We still have a couple of tables available for any interested artists or vendors,\u201d said Antonina Banes, one of the event organizers. Interested vendors may contact the school at 323-STAR (323-7827).<br \/>\nIn the past, shoppers have commented on the convenience and comfort of finding such a variety of island gifts in a single place ahead of the holidays. The Holiday Bazaar has been likened to a mini Flame Tree Arts Festival with shaded sea breezes.<\/p>\n<p>For parents who would like to have a little alone shopping time, the event features an arts and crafts area for children. We will watch your child and help them with an art project while you do your holiday shopping.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the day there will be entertainment from local performers and raffles. Raffle prizes have been donated through the generosity of various island businesses and vendors. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery year we look forward to host this event at the Fiesta Resort,\u201d said Richard Sikkel, principal of Brilliant Start School. \u201cWe expect a vibrant crowd from our school and island community because this event provides quality shopping and gets us all in the holiday spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fiesta Resort lunches, snacks and drinks will be available for purchase at this all-day event. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe look forward to welcoming the community, once again, to this wonderful event which opens the holiday season on Saipan,\u201d said Sikkel. \u201cWe would like to extend our warmest invitation to the community and visitors to our fun-filled holiday event.\u201d <strong>(Brilliant Star School)<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 10th Annual Holiday Bazaar, organized by Brilliant Star School, will be held Sunday, Dec&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[1098],"class_list":["post-184994","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-local-news","tag-fiesta-resort"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184994","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/18"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184994"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184994\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184994"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184994"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saipantribune.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184994"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
