Chase County Sketches 1863 - 2003

THE BAZAAR HOBBY CLUB

The Bazaar Hobby Club was started in 1947 with the interest of the children of the community in mind. It continued until 1965 when the Bazaar school was discontinued. An annual show was held so that the parents could view the children's achievements.

In 1961 the adults were invited to participate with emphasis on the display of antiques because of Kansas Centennial year. This annual show was first known as the Bazaar Hobby Show, and later as The Flint Hills Arts and Crafts Fair. In 1970 the show was held at Elmdale and in 1971 in the Commons Area of the Chase County High School.

Mrs. George T. Dawson was general chairman in 1970-71. The event has become one of the leading tourist attractions in the area.
