The Smithers Art Gallery’s annual Wintergold craft fair is kicking off tonight (Friday) with 29 local vendors participating.
It is also a fundraiser for the gallery to help fund the programs it runs.
“We have ornaments, pottery, Indigenous beaded jewelry, cards, lotions, leather work, wood toys, willow baskets, and a neat addition this year is Real Coffee will be on site,” said Manager Jenna Savage.
She added the gallery has also been working on new decorations for the Central Park Building to make the event more festive.
The event has been running since 1971 which Savage said shows how much residents want it to happen.
“We have such a wealth of great crafters, artisans, artists in this area so it’s kind of a nice showcase for them.”
It runs tonight (Friday) from 5:00 to 9:00 and tomorrow from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Art Gallery.
