Mansion decked out for annual bazaar
Daily Inter Lake | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 12 years, 6 months AGO
The 29th annual Christmas at the Mansion Bazaar is this weekend at the Conrad Mansion in Kalispell.
Hours are 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Hearty food and beverages will be available for purchase both days on the veranda. General admission is $5 for adults and $2 for children.
All proceeds benefit the Conrad Museum.
The bazaar showcases some of Montana’s finest craftspeople’s creative work, along with vintage pieces. Every room in the house will be filled with fine crafts, antiques and gourmet foods.
A preview party from 7-9 p.m. Friday offers early bazaar buying privileges and features holiday music, champagne and appetizers in the Conrad Mansion, beautifully decorated for the holidays.
Tickets for the preview party cost $45 per person and are available at the Gift Shop or by calling 755-2166. Reservations are required.
At the preview party, the “Conrad Mansion Museum Photographs” book will be for sale for the first time.
The newly published book describes the family of Kalispell founder Charles E. Conrad and gives a history of the magnificent home they built on the east side of town.
The book’s 64 pages are full of vintage photos taken when the Conrads lived in the home as well as an extensive series of new photos of the mansion’s interior and exterior — the most complete documentation to date of the museum’s rooms and contents.
Featuring the photography of Karen Weyer of Karen Weyer Photography and writing/editing and graphic design by Rita Fitzsimmons of Designworks, the book costs $19.95.
