Holiday shopping will get an early start at Mother McAuley High School as the McAuley Mothers’ Club prepares to host its 22nd annual Shopapalooza Vendor Fair on Saturday, Nov. 7.
More than 90 vendors will fill the school with merchandise ranging from clothing and home decor to handmade crafts, specialty foods and gifts. The event will feature both returning vendors and new businesses, giving shoppers a chance to browse a wide selection of products under one roof.
Shopapalooza runs from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Mother McAuley High School, 3737 W. 99th St. Admission is $5. The first 250 shoppers will receive a free gift.
The annual event has become an important fundraiser for the McAuley Mothers’ Club. It is the club’s largest fundraiser of the year, with proceeds going toward student scholarships, school programs, special projects and other needs at Mother McAuley.
The fair also gives local businesses an opportunity to showcase their products and connect with shoppers. Whether browsing for holiday gifts, picking up something handmade or sampling specialty foods, visitors will find plenty to explore.
Shoppers can spend the morning supporting small businesses while helping provide additional resources for Mother McAuley students and the school community.
