Do you sell Tupperware, Usbornne, Arbonne or Avon or any other product? Maybe make jams or pickles? Art or crafts? Would you consider participating in a Group Show one evening this November? It would be like a huge home sales party only with multiple companies and products. Tables are $25, to the PAC, but all sales are your own. Set up samples, take orders or just sell your stock. Friends and neighbours will come for a fun evening out- shopping locally, have a visit and a snack from the ‘Cafe’, and maybe get ready for Christmas a little early this year. If you are interested, please contact Kate at kat.emmasworld@gmail.com or call 604 885 2019 to book a spot.
