This show is one of the largest and best attended events of its kind in northwestern Michigan and features over 150 artists, crafters and vendors from around the region, as well as a bake sale, raffle and musical entertainment. The vendors will be selling a wide variety of goods, including wood crafts, jewelry, photography, candy, greenery, dolls and accessories, and knit goods.
While there is no charge for admission, raffle tickets and baked goods will be sold to raise funds to benefit the Auxiliary’s pledge to purchase lifesaving devices for West Shore Medical Center's ambulance fleet. The raffle (lic. no. R32856) features a number of fantastic prizes (see below for more details). Tickets will be available at the show and may be purchased in advance from Auxiliary members or from the Bits of Cheer Gift Shop at the hospital.
Enhancing the festive spirit, Santa Claus will be in attendance from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and live music will be played throughout the day. Lunch will be available for purchase from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
With a team of over 100 members, the West Shore Medical Center Auxiliary has been serving the hospital for over 60 years. Auxiliary members volunteer throughout the hospital, operate the Bits of Cheer Gift Shop in the hospital lobby and are active in fundraising efforts. The Sleighbell Craft Show, Raffle, Bake Sale and Bazaar is their largest fundraiser of the year.
