A group of talented ladies will be displaying their handicrafts and wares to their friends Nov. 17 during the Blount County Newcomers Club's annual Members' Bazaar and Showcase. The show is only for the club, but the good news is, new and prospective members are always welcome.

Seventeen of the women plan to participate in the bazaar, offering everything from original art, hand-crafted items, jewelry, fabric arts and business products to home-baked goods.
