Some of the girls who compete will most likely have the goal of becoming a college tennis player and maybe even higher!

Working with the UTR organization will allow us to show how much we want to support these young women to achieve success in their lives and future careers, both on and off the tennis courts.

Holiday Shopping Bazaar Sets Record By Kathy Striggow The Landings’ Holiday Shopping Bazaar on Tuesday, Nov. 7th, attracted well over 300 strolling gift hunters who perused the treasures displayed by 55 vendors. The Landings Activity Director Extraordinaire, Michele Lawson, was pleased to report this year’s event was “the largest Holiday Shopping Bazaar we’ve ever had at the Landings!” Thank you, Michele, for all the time and work you and your committee put into making this year’s event a tremendous success! The beautiful weather surely contributed to attracting the numbers of shoppers. Vendors displayed a plethora of items including jewelry, crocheted and embroidered items, paintings, holiday accessories and decorations, multi-season wreaths, cosmetics, and hats.
Talented members of our Landings villages manned about half of the display tables, while other vendors purchasing table space were from area communities. It was interesting seeing friends and neighbors displaying items that exhibited their hidden creativity. Even if you were not in the market for anything in particular, it was worth the time just to meander through the Main Deck and appreciate our gifted neighbors. Who knows, you might have found a treasure made by a friend that will become a keepsake! The Shopping Bazaar is one of the holiday season’s most anticipated events for the entire Landings community. Watch for the flyers next fall, and make sure you mark your calendar for the 2024 bazaar. Maybe we can set another record. You will not want to miss it!
HOLIDAY SHOPPING BAZAAR GREAT SUCCESS!!
Don't forget to mark your calendar for the season's biggest concert event!
