On December 6, the Community Market was a fantastic success with 262 patrons browsing and buying handcrafted items. This event showcased the artistic diversity of 33 unique vendors from our local and surrounding communities. The winter market featured a wide selection of unique items including clothing, baked goods, pottery, woodwork, paintings, jewellery, body products, cards, home decor, ornaments, and crochet toys.
This biannual event was truly a celebration of local talent and community spirit. Several members from the Calgary Guitar Club volunteered to play acoustic music throughout the day, adding to the fun atmosphere. Sweeters and Congress Coffee served up beverages and food to satisfy appetites. The Little Free Pantry informed the public about their compassionate approach to supporting immediate needs in the neighbourhood.
A sincere thanks to the wonderful volunteers who signed up for key roles on event day. Their willingness to set up tables, decorate, greet the public, assist kids in the Fun Zone, and clean up is deeply appreciated!
Well-deserved recognition goes to the Market Planning Team – Tina, Julie, Carlene, Amrit, Lonnie, and Catherine. The success of this market would not have been possible without the keen effort and dedication of these individuals. Their volunteer time, teamwork, and attention to detail made the market a positive experience for the vendors and visitors.
