[December 02, 2021]    According to Michelle Bauer, who is one of the organizers for the Knights of Columbus Ladies Auxiliary 'Shop one Stop' event in Lincoln, this year the shoppers were out and about early, snatching up items offered by a number of small, home-based businesses.

The event held each year on Small Business Saturday at the Knights of Columbus Hall was well attended throughout the day, and vendors were excited about the number of shoppers who stopped at their tables to make purchases.

The Shop one Stop is all inclusive with a noon time meal available for those who are having hunger pains from all their shopping.

Throughout the main hall at the K of C, there was a variety of businesses such as Erin Soloman with her home based business, Giggles and Gab. Soloman designs gift baskets with specific themes. In addition to the pre-made offerings, Soloman also took orders for specific types of baskets based on the buyer’s preferences.

Another familiar face in the room was that of Darlene Begolka offering a table full of grab and go Tupperware items. Shoppers enjoyed picking up a few things for themselves. Tupperware is also a great gift for youth heading off to college or a new couple setting up housekeeping for the first time.

Local photographic artist Randy Washam had some amazing offerings. Most of Washam’s works are digitally enhanced or manipulated to bring out high color and detail. In addition to selling photos, Washam also calendars that featured photos of local landmarks.

There were a number of other offerings from Avon products to jewelry and garments to doll clothing and potted plants. There was indeed something for everyone at the Saturday event in Lincoln.
