Sisters Lydia (foreground) and Cora Kimble of Buhler were among the visitors Saturday for the third annual Hillsboro Chamber of Commerce Craft Bazaar at First Mennonite Church. This year, 12 vendors sold items ranging from gift baskets, quilting, candles and baked goods to photographs, afghans, soaps, lotions and scroll work, according to Sheryl Lehr, event coordinator and member of the Chamber’s Promotion Committee. In addition to the vendors, FMC youth served five varieties of soup as a fundraising project. Lehr said she was glad to see the number of vendors was up this year, but was disappointed in attendance.
