Lindsay Agricultural Society Craft Market & Gift Show returns after three-year hiatus
The Lindsay Agricultural Society (LAS) Craft Market & Gift Show is set to make a triumphant return after a three-year hiatus. Organized by the dedicated volunteers of the Lindsay Agricultural Society’s Vendor Show Committee, this beloved event will once again bring together a diverse array of talented craft vendors, both old favourites and exciting newcomers. Everyone is invited to mark their calendars for Wednesday, August 9 as the Lindsay Fairgrounds’ Commonwell Mutual Insurance Exhibition Building transforms into a bustling marketplace from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm.
This year’s show promises to be a fantastic celebration of creativity and craftsmanship. With over 30 vendors participating, visitors can explore a wide range of unique and high-quality handmade products. Whether shoppers are seeking exquisite jewelry, stunning artwork, stylish home décor, tasty treats, or delightful gift items, this event will have something to captivate everyone.
The show has been a cherished tradition in our community for over three decades. The LAS Vendor Show Committee, known for their unwavering dedication, took the last three years as an opportunity to reinvent themselves by re-launching this event and adding three new events to their roster. The committee successfully organized the first-ever series of LAS Home & Living Shows in the fall of 2022 and spring of 2023, demonstrating their commitment to providing outstanding experiences for vendors and attendees.
“We are thrilled to bring back the LAS Craft Market & Gift Show,” said LAS President and Vendor Show Committee member, Bev Fisher. “Our committee has worked diligently to create an event that showcases the talents of our local craft vendors. We are excited to welcome back some familiar faces and introduce an exciting lineup of new vendors as well.”
Hailey McFadden, vendor show coordinator, is also very enthusiastic about the return of the show. “As someone who worked on the Home & Living Show, I am particularly excited to be involved in this event; it’s a completely different show with a very diverse group of vendors. I am happy to be a part of bringing this show back to the Lindsay Fairgrounds!”
Admission to the LAS Craft Market & Gift Show is $2.00 and the Commonwell Mutual Insurance Building will be open from 10:00 am – 7:00 pm. Visitors are encouraged to visit the LAS Kitchen to experience a delightful menu prepared by the LAS’ dedicated volunteers, including tea, treats, and a variety of delicious lunch items. Ample seating will be available, allowing attendees to relax and savour their treats in a comfortable setting. All proceeds from the LAS Kitchen support the Lindsay Agricultural Society.
