Next Week is Portage Place Shopping Centre's Spring Craft Market

Rain or shine the Edmonton Court at Portage Place Shopping Centre is a perfect venue for a Craft Sale. Come out May 3-8 to peruse a good group of Manitoba's crafters and artisan's. I just got a list of the artisans today and I am posting them here so you can get an idea of who is going to be there. It will be a good craft fair to head to especially if you work or go to school downtown. The times are Monday to Friday 11 am to 1:30 pm and Saturday 12 pm to 5pm.

Scroll to the bottom for the full list.

Whoa, that is a lengthy list! Thanks for the info. I was sorry to have to turn down the invitation to have a booth, perhaps next year.
