Numerous displays and activities were available recently for people attending the two-day Bizarre Bazaar (BizBaz for short), which was inspired by a similar event in Kenya that has been running for the last 15 years. It was held at the Osprey Valley Golf Course near Alton. Vandi Hill, one of the two creators of BizBaz, said it was for people to participate, “not just walk around and shopping.” Bruce Savage of the Archers of Caledon was giving some pointers to Kai Thomson, 10, of Nelson, B.C.
