The Holiday Bazaar has been a one of Wewoka’s most treasured holiday traditions. Whether your favorite part of it is unwrapping one of Lois Roberts’ grab bags or biting into a Cheese Apple whose recipe has three generations of history, everyone has a memory of the Holiday Bazaar that is unique and special that keeps them coming back year after year. This year is the 47 Annual Holiday Bazaar, and the Museum is proud to be keeping all those traditions alive, while adding a few new ones! Glenn and Lucy Cook have been donating their peanut butter brittle from the very first bazaar, and it will be no different this year. Fans of that delicious treat will also be happy to know that Wanda Hensley will be making Bob’s Peanut Brittle for the bake sale, too! Carol Friar’s Sand Plum Jelly, a tradition that began with Dr. Claude Knight’s popular recipe, will be available next to Phyllis Houser’s sweet selection of jellies, which always make for popular items at the Thanksgiving table.
