About Us

Alice Siegel began the Bizarre Bazaar® in 1975 as a quality Christmas retail gift show providing a marketplace and springboard for cottage industry, talented crafts persons, unique new shops, boutiques, small businesses, exciting new gift lines, recognized artists of varied media and a few select non-profit groups.

“The Girls”

Eleanor Ward came to The Bizarre Bazaar® in 1999 from the advertising industry.  She enthusiastically assists our exhibitors every step of the way, from sign up to show week.

Frances Herrington also came to The Bizarre Bazaar® in 1999 from the accounting industry.  She keeps the “i’s” dotted and the “t’s” crossed throughout the year.

Buff Ramsey came to The Bizarre Bazaar® in 2000 after several years in the finance industry.  She is our liason for all of the non-profit organizations that work with The Bizarre Bazaar.

Julie Chapman, our most recent addition, has been helping us prepare for show week for several years.  She became a permanent member of the BB team last year in 2008. Julie is our Public Relations guru and assists us in getting the word out about our fantastic shows!

Show Staff

We have a wonderful staff of 12 professionals who are on-site for the duration of each event.  This seasoned group is well trained in promoting a smooth running, fun and profitable show.

Extra Help

We incorporate many non-profit groups to add extra help with set-up, breakdown and to be available for hire by exhibitors who find that they need additional booth assistance once they arrive at the show.
