Organizers of 18th annual event ‘delighted to be indoors’
The weather didn’t cause any issues with this year’s Buttermilk Creek Fall Festival on Saturday, Sept. 21.
The event was held at the R.G. “Bun” Veysey Active Living Centre, where 32 local vendors and artisans showed off their creations.
Jennifer Stead, the Executive Director and Curator of the Andrew & Laura McCain Art Gallery, organized the event. She appreciated the new venue.
“We are delighted to be back indoors in a comfortable venue,” she said, noting that the event had to be held outdoors for the previous three years due to construction at the Western Valley Multiplex.
During the event, the Florenceville Kinsmen hosted a barbecue, and Margaret Johnson, who is running for re-election in the upcoming provincial election, had a corn boil just outside for attendees.
Stead expressed gratitude to the District of Carleton North for its “in-kind” grant, which provided the venue and set up help.
“We couldn’t do it without them!”
