Murphy Medical Center is hosting a Christmas bazaar from 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 13, and from 7 a.m. - 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 14 in the hospital’s Travis E. Green conference room and adjacent lobby.
An extensive array of unique holiday gifts will be for sale and complimentary gift wrapping is available. Festive items for every member of the family will include ladies’ clothing, scarves and jewelry, gorgeous nativities, ornaments and other holiday gifts.
“Our special guest will be The Nut Nook from Asheville,” said Mary Carol Campbell, director of Volunteer Services at the hospital. “Owner Ginny Levi will prepare roasted cinnamon glazed or chocolate pecans, almonds, cashews and peanut brittle right before your eyes, which make great stocking stuffers.”
Murphy Medical Center has more than 140 active volunteers who contribute thousands of hours to help make the hospital and local communities a better place.
“Proceeds from fund-raising events like these help benefit our local communities,” said Campbell. “We’re so appreciative of the public’s support and invite everyone to see some of the wonderful gift items we have available for their holiday shopping.”
Other events coming to Murphy Medical Center include the Masquerade $5 Jewelry Sale from 7 a.m. - 5 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20 and from 7 a.m. - 1 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 21 and the book fair, Wednesday-Friday, Nov. 2–4.
