Are you a crafty entrepreneur?
If so, here’s a chance to show off your talents and make some money doing it.
The LINC Youth Centre is hosting the Gnarly Spring Craft Fair at the Native Sons Hall from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 4 as part of Youth Week Celebrations.
Youth crafters aged nine to 19 are invited to register a table for $10.
The crafters bring an impressive array of products to the fair, with several youth returning each year. Over the years, youth have sold photography, cards, sewing, baking, woodwork, painting, jewelry, ornaments and more.
“We are seeing more schools incorporating entrepreneurial skills into the curriculum, and this market is a great opportunity for youth to test out their products, or to share a table and sell their extra wares with a friend,” said Alexis Forbes, children & youth programming supervisor. “The crafts seem to get better and better every year. We are encouraging everyone to come out shopping to support over 25 youth crafters – pick up something special in advance of Mother’s Day, or a treat for yourself.”
For more information or to register a table, call the Lewis Centre at 250-338-5371 or the Filberg Centre at 250-338-1000.
