Hey everyone ... PLEASE READ! This is so important! Please know that before you send money to First & Last Chance Christmas Craft Show, that you check in with me personally. REACH OUT if you are not sure. This could happen to anyone!

SCAM & FRAUD ALERT!

Vancouver Island Markets and Makers are being targeted by a group of email scammers & fraudsters. They are pretending to be a Market that you have attended in the past. They make the assumption you are going to attend again and send a fraudulent request for booth payment.

PLEASE be super diligent. PLEASE do not send money unless you are 100% certain the request is legitimate. DO NOT engage with these emails.

Reach out to the official Market Organizer at their official contact email if you are unsure. Especially if the correspondence seems slightly off.

Please share this information with every Maker you know. Let's spread the word and keep everyone aware!

Just thought I would let all of our lovely vendors know that First & Last Chance 2026 applications will be out soon! Waiting to finalize a couple of things for this year :) I will post to IG and FB as soon as they are live!

Have a fantastic Saturday :)
