The Holly Jolly Holiday Bash Part Two was another successful event for Three Star Mall, bringing tons of patrons on Saturday. The Holiday Bash is a new craft fair that had its first run in early December with many vendors filling the mall.
When asked to bring it back, 21 Rays Mobile Boutique owner Natalie Parker jumped on the idea. Parker said this was the best event for her store located at the mall. “I was very pleased with the turnout. I’m not sure what did it,” she said.
Parker said it was very busy despite only half of the original vendors being able to return. She doesn’t know what brought more people out, but she is grateful for the success.
Although there were fewer vendors, the variety was still a highlight. Booths selling jewelry, hot coco bombs, homemade hair bows, beautiful photographs, and pork rinds lined the mall’s interior.
A Manchester-based business, Pink Zebra, participated in the first Holiday Bash a couple weeks ago and decided to return.
Pink Zebra is a direct sales company making soy-based wax with tons of scents.
Kristina Thomas, owner of Pink Zebra, found the event on Facebook and reserved her spot. With the success of the first Holiday Bash, she decided to return for that last sale before the holidays.
Parker said the event is already planned for next year and she will start contacting the vendors after the holidays.
