The Williams Lake Indian Band Elders are hosting their first Christmas Market taking place Saturday, Nov. 26 in the Elizabeth Grouse Gymnasium.
First Nations and non-First Nation artists, craftspeople, home and small business people, and service groups have all been invited to participate, says event co-ordinator Katya Potekhina.
As of Tuesday, Potekhina says they have about 20 vendors lined up to participate but still had a few places available.
Among the vendors will be First Nations crafters and artists, a chainmaille jewellery artist, and vendors selling homemade soaps, herbal products, quilts and more.
Band Elders will be providing a concession with traditional First Nations lunch items such as stew and bannock.
There will be games, door prizes, and a loonie auction for a gift basket.
Raffle tickets will be sold for a 48-inch Samsung LED TV, a Black and Decker conventional oven, lots of door prizes, games and a loonie auction for a gift basket.
Everyone is welcome to come and enjoy the Christmas Market, Potekhina says. All funds raised go to the Elders fund for travel expenses.
