Holiday Bazaar is Santa's helper at MSU

Contact: Sammy McDavid

For the 31st year, Mississippi State is helping students, faculty and staff prepare for Christmas with a massive arts and crafts market held in the university's Colvard Union.

The 2003 Holiday Bazaar takes place Dec. 1 and 2. Hours for the event are 9 a.m.-8 p.m. on the 1st; 8 a.m.-6 p.m. on the 2nd.

Though created as a convenience for the campus community, the Campus Activities Board-sponsored shopping fair is open to all. More than 100 vendors will be spread among the building's three floors.
