The craft fair is a small-town institution,
bringing together artisans and buyers
for a day of shopping that supports
small business and community life.
Undoubtedly, there have been craft
fairs, bake sales, markets and fairs
in Fernie for as long as the town has
existed. From September through to
May, Fernie Craft Fairs are a regular
seasonally themed feature at the Fernie
Community Centre. This winter, the
Stocking Stuffers Craft Fair will take
place on December 21st, offering
shoppers a last-minute chance to pick
up great small gifts just in time for gift-
giving season. The Griz Days Craft Fair
is a highlight of the Griz Days weekend
and features a packed hall of unique
locally made goods on March 7th.
Emily Park recently took over operation
of the Craft Fairs – currently there are
6 throughout the year – from former
co-ordinator Tanya Malcom. Under
Malcolm’s management, the Craft Fairs
became a 100% hand-made event and
increased the number of event dates.
Park intends to maintain the handmade
mandate and continue donating all entry
fees to local charities. To introduce the
artisans to the public, she runs a ‘meet
the maker’ series on social media to offer
attendees an insight into what goes into
the production of the goods and what
they can expect to see at the Craft Fairs.
With the addition of Fernie Catering
Co taking over the concession, each
craft fair will now feature café seating
on the mezzanine level and Park plans to
have live music at the events. Vendors
rotate between regular features and new
additions at each event, including Sitka
Studios, Soco Soaps, Maiden Perras
Jewellery, Ouiman’s Woodworking, The
Klapp Farm Jams, The Bacon Lady and
Gemstones by Wendy.
