Proceeds Go To Sea Scout Ship 1926:

Sea Scout Ship 1926 serves young men and women between the ages of 14-20 years old that have a passion for learning maritime history and all things nautical. Whether it's learning how to plot a course to set sail on Lake Michigan or Scuba Diving as part of their conservation-minded program; our scouts take aquatic fun to a whole new level.

The proceeds of this Holiday Bazaar will assist in helping these scouts continue to thrive in this program. It costs an average of $1,200 a year per scout to afford sailing time, rent dive gear, and pay for entrance fees and accommodations where we go. During the Bazaar you will find our Scouts ready to help our crafters and vendors have the best experience possible as well as helping families enjoy the fun kid activities we have in store for them.
