Allenspark Hilltop Guild Annual Bazaar

The Hilltop Guild’s annual Bazaar takes place Saturday, Aug.1, in
Allenspark. The event is free and parking is free.
The Kelley House, home of the Guild and the location of the festival, is
found at 18720 Highway 7, just 4 miles south of Allenspark. Flags mark the
location just off the highway.
The day will begin at 9 a.m. with an assortment of homemade and
handmade things for sale from jellies to woven rugs, from books to
glassware and china, from baked goods to costume jewelry.
More than 20 booths will offer jewelry, honey, coffee, haircuts, loaves of
bread, tarot readings, flavored syrups and leather goods.
The ladies of the Guild will offer a selection of baked goods and peanut
brittle in the Country Kitchen while the White Elephant has a selection of
household collectibles, china, glassware and kitchen items. The Boutique
offers scrubbies, playing card holders, baby clothes, knitted hats and
embroidered tea towels. More than 10 quilts – modern and vintage – also
will be for sale on Aug. 1.
The popular Loom Room has hand-woven items including shoelaces, small
rugs, woven bags, place mats, table runners, dog leashes and exquisite
“ruanas” or shawls.
The popular costume jewelry table also will return this year and the Book
Nook is filled with paperbacks and hardbacks.
You won’t go hungry at the Bazaar as bratwurst lunches will be available as
well as vegan hot dogs.
Live music will take place all day until 2 p.m. featuring Three Moose
Morning and Restless Spirit playing Celtic and Old Time Appalachian
music.
Earlier this year, the Guild was able to provide eight scholarships to
students in Lyons and Estes Park amounting to $13,000.
As Guild members like to say, the money raised at the Bazaar stays in the
community, helping local students and charities.

And the Bunce School and Museum, located only a short walk from the
Kelley House, also will be open on Aug. 1.
