“BASKETS & BARGAINS” is a holiday fund-raiser for the Assistance League of Garden Grove Friday and Saturday.

As the holiday season approaches, so do the various bazaars and other fundraisers conducted by charitable organizations for public service. One such event is set for this weekend.

“Baskets and Bargains” is the annual holiday shopping spree of the Assistance League of Garden Grove scheduled for this weekend at the ALGG facility at 10932 Trask Ave. (near Euclid Street) in Garden Grove.

The event, which is free and open to the public, will be held Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For sale will be baskets, collectibles, china, linens, housewares, toys, books, gift certificates, plants and Christmas items. There will also be a bake sale, a silent auction and prizes. Light refreshments will be served.
