Shoppers can get a head start on their search for holiday gifts at the annual TWIG Bazaar, held 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Nov. 8 at the Ohio Expo Center’s Lausche Building.
The bazaar will feature handcrafted gifts made by TWIG members and independent artisans, such as ornaments, jewelry and holiday decorations. Attendees will also get to see the Avenue of Trees and Wreaths, a collection of decorated Christmas trees and wreaths available for purchase. Guests can also enjoy a silent auction, contests, pictures with Santa and sweet treats.

For 93 years, Together With Important Goals (TWIG) has sponsored the bazaar as a way to support Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Last year the bazaar welcomed more than 3,000 guests and raised more than $65,000. Proceeds benefit the areas of greatest need within Nationwide Children’s.
TWIG is a collective of more than 70 groups of women throughout central Ohio who aim to provide high quality medical care for children and families, regardless of their ability to pay. TWIG members give their time, talent and resources to host fundraisers throughout the year, such as the bazaar, Pumpkinpalooza and Holiday Cards. Founded in 1916, TWIG has since raised more than $30 million for patient care and research at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.
