The Honors College has partnered with the Campus Activities Board to bring back the Harding Bazaar as part of First Thaw, a music festival taking place on Saturday, April 21. This year, 20 student vendors will sell their crafts and artwork, along with local businesses. The event will take place in front of the Reynolds Building from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Bazaar is an opportunity for students to showcase their creative abilities and make some extra cash in the process, said Stephen McBride, president of the Honors Council. According to McBride, Bazaar vendors will be selling everything from knitted headbands to ceramics, handmade jewelry to puppets.
“It’s a great way to help out your fellow student who is talented but really hasn’t had an outlet where they could sell all of their stuff,” McBride said.
The Bazaar will be free of charge and CAB also encourages the Searcy community to take part.
“I love the idea of bringing the community onto our campus to see all that our talented students are capable of and because of the connection with First Thaw, CAB is able to showcase some great music,” said Logan Light, director of campus activities. “If last year was any indication, both the Harding and Searcy communities are in for a great day.”
