SPECIAL TO THE NEWS

Craft fair season has officially kicked off in the Alberni Valley.

There was a very wide and eclectic number of gifts to choose from in the Glenwood Centre this past weekend for the Holiday Winter Market. There were many local crafters and also some from Parksville, bringing some unique items like 3D glasses and fascinator hats, to name a few.

There are more craft fairs coming up, so if you missed this one, the Christmas in the Valley craft fair will be at the Athletic Hall this weekend.
