RIH Craft Fair sets fundraising sights on new hospital equipment
KAMLOOPS — The annual Royal Inland Hospital Craft Fair kicks off tomorrow at the Sandman Centre.
Wilma Scheer of the RIH Evening Auxiliary says they have 260 crafters coming in to take over the arena, with proceeds going towards new equipment for the hospital.
“Last year, we raised $19,106 and we’re hoping to equal that or maybe even better it a little bit,” Scheer says, “Kamloops is growing a little so I think its realistic to hope we break 20 thousand dollars.”
This year Scheer says theres not one big piece of equipment on their fundraising wish list, but many smaller pieces.
