This year we're we are teaming up with the Buckhorn Community Centre (BCC) to put on this show. It is the first of its kind for the area! The CGS is doing all the planning for the gourd section of the show, while the BCC is doing the rest!
Other vendors will be from a variety of creative arts: stained glass, wood turning, rug hooking, wood carving, scrapbooking, card making, jewellery, and many more. We are hoping that many of these vendors will also have supplies and kits available for sale, and teach classes. Our space will be mingled with the others, though we will be taking full buildings for our own use. Our noisy classes (power carving) will be in a building all of its own!
