Americas largest Christmas bazaar hits Portland this weekend

Thats right! If youre in the Portland or Vancouver area, this is the perfect time to buy holiday dcor and gifts. This event is so big, it takes up two weekends! Youll find affordable gifts, crafts, gourmet food, decorations, jewelry and much more at over 1,000 merchant booths. This year marks the 30th annual bazaar and over 450 new booths are participating. This is a great time to shop for unique, one-of-a-kind items that you wont be able to find elsewhere, as well as regional items that can double as a gift and souvenir this holiday season.

Be part of this fun Portland tradition this year by shopping the bazaar this weekend or next: November 25-27 and December 2-4. Friday and Saturday hours are 10am - 6pm and Sunday hours are 10am - 5pm. Admission is $7 per person ($6 for seniors, $3 for 12-17 year olds). Parking at the Expo Center is $8 per car or $7 for carpools of 3 or more. Save by traveling on Trimet or attending on Friday, December 2nd and bringing two cans of food (or more!) per person for admission to help the Portland Sunshine Division. On Sundays you can receive $2 off admission when you bring the Americas Largest Christmas Bazaar postcard. "The essential to budget travel is to prepare ahead. When it comes to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new locations we have never been before, the reality of expense and budgeting is generally in the back of our minds. Arranging and spending our travel budget properly is a consideration for most families. Minimizing expending and fees, while still enjoying your vacation to its fullest, is the key to assured achievement and fiscal obligation. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The thought behind economizing money while vacationing is simple: Even if your personal budget is extremely tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also recalling that while traveling, whether on a resources or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a large vacation or travel charge!..". While everyone else is cramming into the mall, you could be sleeping in on Black Friday, in preparation for your own serious shopping experience.

Tip: Be kind to the earth and bring your own reusable bags! If youll be traveling, this will also ensure that you dont buy more than you can carry home.
