We are counting the days down as we near the big day!

With only a few short weeks left, we are well underway with our preparations.

Tonnes of great artisans, children's crafting, gourmet food and so much more. Don't forget, we are at a Vermeer's Garden Centre, so you can also pick up a few things for your green thumb!

Hop on over to our Artisan's page to see all of our vendors and like us on Facebook to find out more about what is happening. 

Make sure you visit Vermeer's to pick up your ballot for our big draw that happens Friday night, secondary draws will take place on Saturday. One ballot per person! 

See you soon!

  
We are pleased to announce our new location at Vermeer's garden centre and flower shop.

This family owned establishment is celebrating over 50 years of  business in Niagara.

Our artisans will be nestled amongst the flowers, both indoors and out, for a truly beautiful and unique shopping experience. 

Along with our artisans you will also find our children's crafting area and our gastronomique extrodinaire, that will be sure to delight everyone.

Keep visiting us for lots of news and updates on our adventures in the arts on our facebook page.

Despite some wind and a eensy bit of rain First Sunday Stroll turned out to be a fantastic day with lots of smiles all around.  The crowds came to shop and admire armed with umbrellas and lots of 'oohs and ahhs'.

A special thank you to all those who made such generous donations to Pelham Cares. Support is required year round for those in need and we were glad to help out!

Thank you to all of our wonderful sponsors, artisans and of course our shoppers! We hope to see you all in 2013.
