✨ That’s a wrap on another incredible year at the Campbell River Global Fair Trade Market!
We are deeply grateful to Clay and Linda Carlson for their tireless dedication in organizing this event, and to the many **volunteers—both adults and students—**who gave their time and energy to make it all possible.
A heartfelt thank you to the Altrusa Club for co-sponsoring, and to the amazing performers who brought joy and rhythm to the fair: Sing for Pure Joy, the drummers, and the dancers who lit up the stage.
🌍 Together, we celebrated community, culture, and the power of fair trade. Thank you to everyone who joined us—your support helps keep this tradition alive year after year!
