Thanks to all who contributed to the
2011 Annual Dickens Fair!

Changing the hours to later in the day, having lots of music and other attractions like the chickens, spinners and blacksmith were enthusiastically enjoyed by all. The cafe did a roaring business during the whole time, and its success was due to our community sponsors who donated the food and beverages. The later hours proved to be a hit with the public, and we received many compliments on the diversity, quality and pricing of the art and craft works offered.

Overall, vendors were very happy with their experience at the winter market with its later hours, and many hope to return next year.

Thank you to the volunteers who helped out, and to everyone who came to the 2011 Dickens Fair, James Bay’s festive winter market. See you on December 1, 2012, 2-8pm!
