Annual UW Holiday Market Dec. 10

Nearly 50 vendors will sell a wide assortment of products at the University of Wyoming Holiday Market Friday, Dec. 10.

Staff Senate sponsors the market, which is open from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. in the UW Conference Center, located at 2221 E. Grand Ave. The event is free and open to the public.

This year’s market will feature local vendors who will offer a variety of items for sale, including homemade craft items, handmade soaps and lotions, jewelry, baked goods, housewares, local meats, and wood and textile crafts.

Staff Senate will sell tickets to its fall meat raffle and holiday cash 50/50 raffle. The proceeds will support staff scholarships, the Employee of the Quarter program and other staff activities.

Free parking will be available in the lot directly north of the UW Conference Center and north of the “Breakin’ Through” statue outside the Marian H. Rochelle Gateway Center from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Attendees also can use UW’s free shuttle service.

UW President Ed Seidel has granted 2.5 hours of release time for UW employees to attend the market. The scheduling of release time should be a collaborative discussion between employee and supervisor to ensure the effective and efficient operation of the unit.
