The F.W. Howay Elementary School Parent Advisory Council is once again inviting the community to come out and support its annual craft fair fundraiser.

This is the fourth year the PAC has organized the fair and as like other years, there’ll be a mix of local home-based businesses and Howay students selling handmade goods. Last year, 28 vendors took part, including 15 students from Howay, 12 local businesses and Fraserside Community Services, according to PAC co-chair Garry Self.

The event raised about $600 through table rentals. The money is used by the PAC to help to pay for events and programs for kids at Howay, including Fun Day, pancake breakfasts, holiday crafts and new books for the school library.

This year’s fair is happening on Saturday, March 30 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at River Market, 810 Quayside Dr.
