Community supports local business with annual Heffley Creek Fall and Harvest Fair
KAMLOOPS – Heffley Creek Hall’s annual craft fair and harvest sale took place on Sunday (Oct. 20), with hundreds attending in and around the Heffley Creek area.
The event is held every year to support local vendors. It gives people a chance to buy some last-minute Halloween items and even get a head start on some holiday shopping. The fair also sells some produce, with funds going toward the community hall.
“We always get a ton of community support,” organizer Deb McDougall told CFJC News. “I try to have as many local vendors as I can. We do include Kamloops, Barriere, Clearwater and Sun Peaks. I like it because I like to see all the different vendors and their different things and how they actually morph. They evolve in what they make because they get ideas from other vendors. That’s really what the fair is all about. I have chairs for older people to come and sit and gather and you’ll see people standing there talking because it’s a community getting together and it’s just a warm, friendly place.”
