Organizers of the Roland Pumpkin Fair are inviting craft vendors to take part in this year’s event, set for Saturday, Oct. 4.
The annual fair draws crowds with attractions such as the tea room, craft sales and the popular pumpkin weigh-off, where visitors can marvel at giant pumpkins, watermelons and even oversized tomatoes.
“It is special to see all the people come out and enjoy the fair, the tea room, craft sales, pumpkin weigh-off, and a whole lot more,” said organizer Sara Peters.
Peters said she is particularly looking for handmade items this year, including sewing, crocheting and paintings.
She added that the fair not only draws large crowds but also showcases the creativity of local artisans.
“My favourite part about organizing is to see what people all make and what they enjoy, and it brings me great joy to see,” she said.
The fair runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Roland. Vendors interested in applying can contact Peters at rolandcraftshow@gmail.com.
