  1. Hello,

    I am surprised that you haven’t listed the 22nd Annual Women’s Winter Faire, December 19/20 at Heritage Hall. It is one of the longest running and popular markets featuring some of BC’s finest women artisans. I hope you will consider adding it to your list of “Ultimate Guide” to fairs. Our door donation this year goes to a Syrian Refugee Fund. We have raised over $105,000 over the past 21 years to many grassroot organizations which can be viewed at above website.

    Thank you in advance for your consideration. I look forward to hearing back.
