MANILA, Philippines – The much-awaited Christmas Carnivale Bazaar of the Zonta Club of Alabang is ongoing until today at the Cuenca Court, Ayala Alabang Village to benefit the club’s many outreach programs. The bazaar opens from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The hardworking committee promises a great time for the family starting with a children’s zone called “Carneville,” which will feature Bambi Manosa’s “Creative Kids Workshop,” Timezone and Fun Ranch. With the children’s zone, mommies can leave their children here while they shop!
For animal lovers, there is a “Pet Zone” with dogs, cats, hermit crabs and others for sale. A mobile grooming van will be there to jazz up your pets.
Also a first will be a “Men’s Lounge” featuring the latest Apple products brought in by Mobile I, Yamaha motorcycles for test drive, BMW and Hobie Cats — all the toys for the big boys. The Men’s Lounge will be furnished by Designs Ligna and Jireh Forge Inc. — every furnishing is also for sale!
Over 200 concessionaires are handpicked to sell trendy and classic clothes, shoes, jewelry, accessories, kitchen and household items and many more.
Spanish, Thai, Japanese and Pinoy favorites will be in the food court to please every palate.
For entertainment, there will be a line-up of clowns, jugglers and balloon sculptors the whole day. A magic show caps the day. Last night saw the cheerleading squad from DLSZ plus homegrown bands from the village — D53 and Mistbind leading the group. Tonight, a lively impersonation show, preceded by the Zip Fire dance, will surely bring the house down.
There is a “Tree of Joy” where one can buy a toy (for as low as P200) to hang on the tree to represent one’s donation to a kid beneficiary.
