The SAFCC Holiday Bazaar is an annual celebration that brings together a community of vendors offering unique holiday gifts, cat-themed treasures and stuff for furry friends. Every purchase made at the bazaar has a purpose - supporting our mission to give every cat a chance at a better life. Together, we can build a brighter future for cats, ensuring they receive the love, care, and family life they deserve.
Get in the holiday spirit at this free, family friendly event on the grounds of the historic Huebner-Onion Homestead and Stagecoach Stop. Old-timey games and activities for the kids, stories, carolers, selfies with The Grinch, and complimentary tamales and apple cider while they last!
Bring a donation for our local Blue Santa and make somebody smile this Christmas. Hosted by the Leon Valley Historical Society.
Get ready to dive into the holiday spirit! Join us for a delightful day filled with festive films and creative craft ideas that the whole family will love. Don’t miss out on the fun—let’s celebrate together!

We will have special zinester guest, Ana Camacho Espiritu co-founder and co-organizer of the San Anto Zine Fest, sharing their zine-making knowledge! We will also have a button making station, limited goodies bags, snacks, and more!
We will also be debuting the new Big Read Zine made up of local community submissions. This year's BRZ theme is "a journey through wisdom and imagination."
Zine Lab Monthly focuses on building a space for folks to get creative and learn about zines and the basics of creating their own self-published works!
A zine (pronounced ZEEN) is an independently published magazine or booklet. Using provided supplies, folks can create their own artistic mini books to express themselves and tell their own stories.
[The event will take place in the Latino Collection & Resource Center on the first floor.]

Owen was always the class clown growing up in Cincinnati, Ohio. After high school, he got serious and enlisted in the Navy.
Owen became a military police officer at the Naval Installations on Coronado Island in San Diego. During this time, Owen worked up the nerve to go at a nightclub. After only a year of doing stand-up, he was named "Funniest Serviceman in America."
Then in July of 1997 he auditioned for BET's COMICVIEW. Two appearances on the multi-cultural comedy showcase won him his own one-hour "Grandstand" show. At the end of the season he was selected from the year’s four "Grandstanders" to be the host. Not only is Owen the only white man to have ever hosted COMICVIEW, but he is the only white on-air personality the network has ever had.
Owen is active on twitter at twitter.com/garyowencomedy. Owen has produced two stand-up DVDs: BREAKIN’ OUT THE PARK and URBAN LEGEND.
