Who knew that Evergreen’s very own CAB building could be transformed into a grand bazaar.
On Dec. 4, local and student venders encircled the rooms on the second and third floor. Through the successful crowds of merchants and buyers, I was able to ask some of the venders a few questions in between sales.

The infinity scarf because you can wrap it around your neck or over your head
