Shoppers in Ishpeming searched through all types of crafts to find a unique treasure at the Saint Joseph's Fall Bazaar Wednesday.

This was the 67th annual bazaar for the church and this year had over 250 people.
    
The bazaar had booths that featured hand crafted goods and homemade sweets and a 50/50 raffle.
    
They also had a "White Elephant" sale that had items you can't find anywhere else.
    
Organizers say the reason people keep coming back is the chance to find something truly unique.

"Handcrafted things that you cannot find in a store - you have to come to a place that has these old time skills," said Church Guild President, Annie Trudell.

The money raised by the bazaar helps the church fund youth and senior programs.
