The WG Resident’s October 4 edition featured a story on the International Gift Faire, slated for October 12-13 at Lincoln Glen Church in WG:

A global village is about to descend on Willow Glen.

The annual two-day International Gift Faire that features fair trade, handcrafted items from around the world will open at Lincoln Glen Church. Its importance has attracted residents from neighboring communities.

This “Fair Trade” festival is orchestrated by Ten Thousand Villages, on behalf of tens of thousands of artisans in over 30 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East struggling to find markets for their hand made crafts and goods.

This is shopping you can feel good about! The International Gift Faire brings quality world crafts to your doorstep–your purchases bring a better future to artisans in need.

The International Gift Faire provides vital, fair income to artisans around the world by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories in North America.

Your Purchase Makes a Difference!
