MOSES LAKE — “I’m here all day long looking out this window. Nobody’s downtown,” said Holly Rock, owner of Hometown Studyhall tutoring center. “Let’s get some people out and about.”

In the name of the Cabin Fever Bazaar, she did that Saturday when about 20 vendors and dozens of patrons filled her study hall at 108 W. Third Ave. in Moses Lake for a craft market and fundraiser.

The idea for the bazaar came from a confluence of forces, Rock said.

“I love the word ‘bazaar,’” she said. “‘Cause everyone has cabin fever. Let’s get out and about, get spring here.”

More money’s going out than coming in right now, she added. Her downtown neighbors are struggling, too. Rock first advertised the event on Facebook and quickly received over 300 responses, she said.

Along with the other vendors, Hometown Studyhall learners crafted succulent gardens and set up a table at the bazaar to raise money for a list of supplies they’ve been wanting, such as educational posters, snacks, board games and other items.

The pupils set their own prices for the succulents, Rock said. “They’re all underpriced, for sure.”

Weaving through the crowd, bazaar customers found jewelry, flowers, candles, leatherwork, jam, purses, popcorn, reiki services, lotions, essential oils, knitted crafts and much more, strewn about tables lining the study hall walls.

Anna Lucero of JayKayL Creations sells real estate for her day job. She started crafting tumblers, berets, earrings and other knickknacks to fill the time, and it’s now taken over her entire house, she said.

Most of her sales are online through social media, she said, but the bazaar is a great way to see her customers’ faces and for them to see the crafts in person.

Scentsy’s wickless candles is based in Boise, Idaho, but the owner grew up in Othello, said vendor owner Lori Valdez.

The best part about in-person markets are the networking opportunities, she said. On Saturday, she found someone who designs websites, as well as several other helpful business owners. Plus, people are just happy at the market, she said.

With fewer options for in-person shopping this past year, “side hustle” businesses have struggled greatly, Rock said. Whether the money just goes back and forth in the community, it’s an important stimulus for businesses to provide one another, she said.

In April, she plans to throw a second bazaar.

“We’ve all had a hard year,” she said. “These small businesses, most of them aren’t going to make it unless we help support each other.”
