Because the Grant County Business and Conference Center will be closed for renovation in November, when Epsilon Sigma Alpha International usually holds his holidy bazaar, the group decided to hold it this year in July. The organization holds fundraisers to raise money for philathropic efforts, mostlly scholarships, which any graduating student can apply for to further their education. The scholarships can be applied for online by any student from high school through college.
