Is your nonprofit group having a fall or winter bazaar? An arts and crafts show? Let us help you spread the word.

Our much-anticipated annual listing of holiday bazaars and craft shows will publish Oct. 5 in the Neighbor section. Friday is the deadline to be included.

Write up the basic details of your event. Be sure to include when and where the event will take place, the cost of admission, highlights and a phone number or e-mail address readers can use to get more details. Also include a phone number just for us, in case we need to ask you a question prior to publication.

There is no charge to be included. Send to Norrine Twohey via e-mail Arts&Crafts@dailyherald.com or via fax (847) 427-1301.
