Eleven11 Biz in Westport hosted its annual Small Business Holiday Market event Saturday.

About a dozen local vendors from Fairfield County participated and set up shop in the parking lot for a day of holiday shopping.

The event is aimed to give shoppers in the community an opportunity to support local businesses.

"I love to bake the holiday flavors, they're fun to decorate, I love my family and being around friends and being invited to parties," said Anthoula Pantzos, owner of The Cheesecake Collection.

This was the event's fourth year and participating vendors said they look forward to being a part of it annually.

"A product is a product, a good product is a good product but getting people together and having some holiday excitement particularly is always [a] wonderful opportunity," said Andrew Hellman, co-founder of One Part Company.
