Students from F.W. Howay Elementary School joined home-based vendors at River Market Sunday for the third annual spring fair hosted by the Howay parent advisory council (PAC).

The event is a fundraiser and proceeds from table rentals go directly to the PAC to help to pay for events and programs for kids at Howay, including in-school karate instruction, Fun Day, pancake breakfasts, holiday crafts and new books for the school library.

A total of 28 vendors took part in the fair, including 15 students from Howay, 12 local businesses and Fraserside Community Services, according to PAC co-chair Garry Self.

Self estimates the fair raised about $600.
