Our housing development in Ontario decided to not have a bazar or craft show this year because of low sales. Years ago people would be lined up before we opened and ate a lunch too. The craft group believes the Dollar Stores offers have stopped sales which is what I believe too.
People can get different colors of things whenever they are out already shopping not waiting for a special date. They don't care if these little things are handmade because they change their theme the next year or season.
I personally miss them too.
