Bake Sale Plus Market

Friendly reminder:

Saturday, Sept. 13 will be the last Bake Sale Plus Market for the season. Come on down to Dunfield Park behind the Thetis Island Marina/Pub, store and post office between 10 and 2.

There will be, of course, pies, cookies, banana fritters, Nanaimo bars, cheesecake, egg rolls, Filipino based meals, sourdough bread, caramel corn, fresh fruit and vegetables. Native cedar art carvings, hot sauce, lotions and more.

Even though it is the last market of the season, think ahead;

Do you have company coming for a weekend, Thanksgiving, Christmas, get together of any sort? Are you anticipating being busy one week and might not be able to keep up the cooking and baking? Last minute gifts for any occasion (carvings, hot sauces or lotions, etc.)?

Visit the market, ask the vendor for their contact info. Perhaps you can arrange things with them, and you won't have to go several months without some of your favourite goodies or gifts.

Most of all, the Bake Sale Plus Market vendors would enjoy a chit chat since they may not see you till next season.
