It's the most wonderful time of the year to visit The Bazaar on Apricot & Lime! On Friday, December 9th, their doors will be open for after hours shopping, 5-8 pm for the first ever Hound Happy Hour.

Bring you four-legged family member for a free pup cup as you stroll through the market, have a bite to eat, and enjoy a craft beer or glass of wine while listening to live music by Jsanti, a musical artist and songwriter from New York City who will be performing a solo/acoustic set of original and cover material.

Every month The Bazaar opens the courtyard for animal rescues. At the December event, Satchels Last Resort and Tender Heart Charities will be bringing dogs available for adoption. According to Page Knoebel, President of Satchel’s Last Resort, "The exposure is great. And just as important, it gives the dogs (and cats) time away from the shelter enforcement. They are able to learn more about the animals which helps matching them to the perfect home easier."

Founder of Tender Heart Charities, Lisa Martin-Manns said they have had great success with actual adoptions from being at The Bazaar. In fact, three of the adoptions have been from members of The Bazaar family!

The guest vendors for Hound Happy Hour include: Kilted Canines (dog training), Vice & Virtue (custom beds & bandanas), Wiggle Your Tail Pet Care, Doody Calls, and Lit Dog Treats. There are more than 40 local creators and curators inside The Bazaar. Hamlet’s Eatery will be open for dinner. Creative Liberties across the street from The Bazaar will also be open. It's a great time to get your holiday shopping done.

“It’s always been important for The Bazaar to bring the community together,” said Bazaar co-owner Kim Livengood. “It’s been our mission since we started. From providing a space for small businesses to operate to dogs looking for their furever homes.”
