Christmas Art Fair

The Annual Craft & Art Sale hosted by the Northern Alberta Pioneer and Descendants Association was extended in 2013 to give art and craft lovers an extra day to enjoy the festive atmosphere and shop to their heart's content. I was there for my second year at the Old Timers' Cabin in the heart of Edmonton Centre on November 23rd and 24th. It was a warm and friendly environment in which to visit with friends old and new, display and sell my work, and connect with other artists and artisans. I was delighted to see some friends that I hadn't seen in years and truly appreciate their support and well wishes.

The Old Timers' Cabin is a beautiful, historic facility which holds many warm memories for myself and my family, especially my wife, whose childhood home was just 1 block north. Walking into this building is like stepping back in time. Having spent a bit more time there and talking to some of the Association members instilled in me a desire to get involved in keeping this amazing facility and organization alive and vibrant for future generations. So, I joined the Association, attended their Annual General Meeting, and became a Board Member. I'm looking forward to some new challenges and opportunities in 2014!
