Fall Fair - September 21, 2024

It’s that time of year when we are vying for space in our drying racks, feeling anxious about canning fruits before they spoil, and basking in our bounty and good fortune. 

   

Let’s celebrate together the change in seasons at the Fall Fair on 21 September.  All proceeds go to the LCA for a major overhaul of the Community Hall’s plumbing system.

   

The success of the Fair, like most things Lasquetian, depends on all of us. So, if you’d like to create a display, contact Hilary Haze3@rocketmail.com 

   

Or, if you’d like to organize or help with a competition or pageant, contact Jenny jennyv@lasqueti.ca    

   

Like last year, food will be supplied by vendors and volunteer contributions.  If you’d like to sell your yummy foods or would like to donate a pot of soup or chili OR dessert, or veggies for others to cook with, contact Dana dlepofsk@sfu.ca Or how about getting together with your friends with fruit trees to co-create a big roasting pan of crisp!   

   

Here’s a taste of some of the things to look forward to:

  • visiting with friends, old and new

  • pie, jam, salsa contests (organized by Dana A.)

  • chicken pageant (organized by Dana A.)

  • wine tasting

  • geology/archaeology table — bring your artifacts or rocks for identification by an off-island expert

  • fire and forest history of Lasqueti

  • N-S end tug-o-war

  • relay races

  • heart and soul-warming food

   

Following the daytime festivities, we’ll gather inside to feast on yummy (donated) desserts.  With a sugar-buzz, we’ll be ready to dance to the tunes of Palace Band!
