Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and that means it is time for the 11th annual Gibsons Fall Fair Oct. 8 and 9 at Quality Farm & Garden in Gibsons.
Dave and Betty Wells, owners of Quality Farm & Garden, are kindly hosting this successful community event in the large greenhouse adjacent to the store.
If you are a crafter and want to be a part of the fun, there are a couple of spaces left. If you would like to participate, information can be found on the website at www.gibsonsfallfair.org. You can download applications and posters, and see pictures from previous events. The website is a generous donation from Teresa Nightingale.
Organizers are also looking forward to the kids creative gardening and scarecrow displays. If you are a sunflower or pumpkin gardening specialist, bring your prize specimen down for judging. The Fall Fair caters to children, so don't leave them out of the fun. Pumpkin, sunflower and scarecrow competitions are fun for all ages. Local schools are also encouraged to participate.
"Come out and support this local event that sends 100 per cent of its proceeds back into the community to Sunshine Coast charities," said co-organizer Jill-Marie Wilson. "To date, more than $12,000 has been donated back to our own community."
From handmade soaps, beautiful pottery and hand-sewn goods or fresh baking (need a pie for your Thanksgiving dinner table?) to hot burgers off the Lion's Club grill, there is something for everyone. Bring your company down and start your Christmas shopping season with the varied and wonderful selections from local Coast artisans.
