First 2 Fall Markets

Well, we've been back for the first two Fall Baker's Community Markets and we're gaining momentum. We are adding vendors and offering a pretty spectacular variety of sweets and treats. Here are a few photos to remind you, if you were there, or tempt you if you're planning on visiting us in November or December!

~ Lemon & Lavender Shortbread by Em's Gems

~ Pumpkin Pecan Mini Cakes by Em's Gems

~ Cake Pop Buffet by Heather and Hunny

~ Coffee and Tea by Handworks Coffee Studio

As well as offering fabulous treats we are also trying to raise food for our local food bank, SHARE Society. Please remember to bring 3 items of non-perishable food as a donation. In return, you will have the chance to win a basket of goodies donated by the bakers. This draw will take place after each market. 

Items to consider donating include: canned fruit, canned or dried beans, canned fish, pasta, tomato sauce, canned vegetables, Ensure (or other high protein drinks) and rice.

Our next market is November 12 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. Get there early before your favourites are sold out. And grab a coffee while you're there!

Saturday, October 8

The second Fall Market is happening this Saturday, just in time for you to pick up your favourite fall treat for Thanksgiving dinner. We've got another great set of vendors lined up, and a few are offering specials. We've also got a few new additions to this week's market: Colony Farm Pies and France Gourmande.

Don't forget that when you come to the Market you can win a basket of goodies donated by our talented bakers. Just bring 3 items of non-perishable food and you'll be entered! All donations go to SHARE Society.

See you Saturday at Evergreen Cultural Centre, rain or shine (remember, we're inside so the weather doesn't matter)!

Maria and Rena are a new addition to the fall markets and we are super excited to have them join us. One of their specialties is Giambelone, a traditional Italian bundt cake. They also create other sweets including cakepops, decorated sugar cookies and cupcakes. Check out La Gioia Events on-line before you stop by to visit them in person!
