WOW Trade Show February 18

shopping-coupleThe Trade Show began in 1993 as a fundraiser for Soroptimists International of Oliver. When that group disbanded in 2003, the Trade Show continued through the work of the WOW Club.

The Trade show title “Mainly for Women” reflects our mission statement, with the funds raised going to support our projects which focus mainly on women and children within our community.

Trade show displays feature everything from beautifully handcrafted jewelry to pottery, wood crafts, fibre art, health products and services, real estate and investments, home improvement, fashion, food, and many more themes.

The ‘Mainly for Women’ Trade Show occurs every February, on the third Saturday of that month.  Forty to sixty individual vendors showcase their wares in the Oliver Community Centre, where there is free parking for patrons.  A lunch and snack area is available.

Christmas Concert donates food, cash

The arts council hosted the annual Community Christmas Concert (held on November 27) as admission by donation with proceeds going to the Oliver Food Bank. Entertained by dancers, choirs, soloists, and humorous narration, the audience once again opened their hearts and pocketbooks to people in need. Proceeds of $500 and bags of groceries were presented to the food bank. Pictured are Brian Mapplebeck (right) presenting Jim Ouellette of the Oliver Food Bank with monies and food collected. Thank you to our audience for their generosity! The arts council board is already brainstorming ideas for next year’s revue!CCC Donation to OFB 2016
