The Morris Spring Fling Vendor & Craft Market is returning to the Morris Multiplex with 66 vendors on Saturday, May 3.
As one of the largest craft shows in Southern Manitoba, the organizers are happy to continue hosting a well-organized and welcoming event with no admission fee.
“We’re excited to offer a fantastic range of handmade goods, treats and more at this cherished community event – it just keeps getting better every year,” shared Arien Peterson, facilities manager of the Morris Multiplex.
Visitors to the day-long event can enjoy a mixture of local creativity and community spirit; everything from homemade baking to handmade pottery, alongside the infamous PERK Coffee Bar and a full canteen.
For a second year, the Morris & District Chamber of Commerce is hosting their Volunteer & Job Fair in conjunction with the market.
“The job fair offers a unique opportunity, especially for the community’s youth, to engage with multiple employers and non-profit organizations and volunteer opportunities,” said chamber president Cheryl Demarcke. “The Multiplex serves as a gathering spot for the entire community, with the Spring Fling bringing in people from town and surrounding communities. Being able to host both events together creates a family friendly feel that is attracting to all ages.”
With many favourite vendors returning this year and the event offering fundraising opportunities to local groups, community dedication is always important.
“The Spring Fling is more than just a craft show,” said Peterson. “We celebrate local talent and as one vendor put it: ‘It’s not just about selling, it’s about connection.’”
Both events begin at 10 a.m. The Job Fair ends at 2 p.m. while the craft sale runs until 3 p.m.
