This Saturday is your last chance to experience Oshkosh Farmers Market first ever “Farmers Market Bazaar”.

The Farmers Market Bazaar will be held on Dec. 16 from 9am-12: 30 pm at the Oshkosh Convention Center, 2 N Main St. The Farmers Market Bazaar provides a larger venue with more diverse offerings and is possible by the support and assistance of the Premier Best Western Waterfront Hotel and Convention Center.

Over 30 vendors bring fresh, in-season fruits and vegetables, eggs, honey, syrups, cheeses, pasture-raised meats and poultry, jams and preserves.  Local food artisans bring fresh baked goods, candy, and other goodies.  A variety of handcrafted items are also available for those last minute gifts.
