Burton, on the Arrow Lakes, has an annual Fall Fair that is held in the town hall. This is a very small event that show-cases a few tables of local craft, and a few tables of garden flowers and vegetables.
We welcome all spinners and vendors to join us for a SPIN-IN at this event! Highlight: I WILL BE SHOWING SLIDES FROM 'WEAVE A REAL PEACE' from about 12:30-1:30.(These are slides of indigenous peoples around world working with fibre.)
The Fall Fair is held on: Saturday, Aug. 30th. 9-3 pm To submit an item for the fair (there will be spinning and a weaving categories) is $.50 per item up to $2. Items must be submitted 3-6 pm on Friday, August 29th. Entry Fee is $2 (waived if you have submitted an item for the fair) There are prizes of about $5 and less for !st, 2nd, and 3rd. (co-sponsored by the Columbia Basin Trust)
If you wish to be a vendor the cost is $5 per table.
The local United Church will be selling soup, sandwiches, coffee, tea, and desserts.
Burton has a beautiful, lakeside campground with showers. Swimming, boating, and fishing are enjoyed here. Do plan to join us with your spinning wheel, and/or loom!
