IRCC BUSINESS STUDENTS ORGANIZE CRAFT AND GIFT BAZAAR

The Indian River Community College Chapter of Delta Epsilon Chi, (DECA), a student business organization, will present the 27th Annual Holiday Bazaar on Saturday, November 17, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the IRCC Main Campus in Fort Pierce. Hundreds of craft and gift items including holiday decorations, toys, fabric, book sale, plants, and more will be on sale! Food, drinks, and bake goods will also be available.

Each year the bazaar provides a forum for IRCC students to apply various skills learned in the classroom. IRCC business students plan, coordinate, and organize this exciting event. The event features approximately 125 vendors, and several thousand people typically attend the annual event.

Funds will be raised through various activities including a cut-a-thon, in which IRCC Cosmetology & Barbering students will provide haircuts at the cost of $5 each. Cut-a-thon tickets may be purchased at the bazaar or prepurchased through the IRCC Cosmetology & Barbering Department. For cut-a-thon tickets, please call 772-462-4286.

The Interior Design Sale will be located in the Koblegard Student Union this year. The sale will feature accessories to beautify your home for the holidays, holiday fabrics, as well as design displays and consultation. Students will be giving presentations on the latest design trends and interior technology.

The Agriculture Department will offer "Florida friendly" plants for sale. Horticulture students will be available throughout the event to share information with you about plant care and propagation.

The Culinary Arts program will do a cooking demonstration offering mouth-watering delights for the most discriminating tastes. The culinary program engages students in real-world learning experiences at area restaurants augmented by classroom instruction.

A portion of all proceeds raised by IRCC student activities will benefit the President's Challenge Scholarship Fund. Through the IRCC Foundation, the Fund provides full two-year scholarships to financially disadvantaged students who maintain good grades and complete high school.

Vendor space is available now! For more information, please call the IRCC Call Center at 1-866-866-4722, Ext. 7660.
