鈥淲e aim to cater to all kinds of interests, hobbies and groups so that you can complete all of your holiday shopping in one place,鈥� said event producer Karalyn Lockhart. 鈥淭he event is an experience in itself where you can look through an assortment of beautiful, high quality, hand-made products, listen to the vendor鈥檚 stories, purchase that perfect gift and enjoy entertainment and live music, all under one roof.鈥�
Along with crafts, organizers have set up a kids鈥� area with a bouncy castle, coloring stations, craft activities and free sparkle tattoos.
Hand-made wares and unique gifts are becoming more and more popular, according to Lockhart.
鈥淚t seems that now, more than ever, there is a shift in consumers placing value in the story and quality behind a product and meeting the individual who made it,鈥� she said. 鈥淲e bring out the best selection of vendors in the region to make it easy and simple for people who care about supporting local businesses and who care about how the product was made, the love and care behind it. We create an experience for shoppers who want to bring back meaning in gift selecting and giving.鈥�
There is also adult fun planned.
There will be a bar setup on the show floor and glasses will be sold from noon onwards. Listen to live music from local favorites Timbre Wolves, Lowell Friesen and the White Sails A Cappella Chorus.
