VIDEO: Good turnout for first spring market at Parkside school

Organizer 'really pleased'

Novice vendor, Isla, seven, from Aldergrove, was having fun helping the grownups in her life sell crafts from their table at Parkside Centennial Elementary school in Aldergrove on Saturday, April 5.

"I think it's great," Isla told the 91Ô­´´ Advance Times.

It was the first spring craft fair for the school at 3300 270 St., with 380 people dropping by the to see what more than 40 vendors were selling for Easter and Mother's Day. 

Table sales went to the PAC fundraising with entry donations going to help the 91Ô­´´-based Ishtar Women's Society.

"It goes towards field trips and school presentations and upkeep and learning materials and everything that we can give our kids," said April Levine, a member of the Parkside PAC, and also one of the vendors.

While the spring market saw fewer visitors than the 600 recorded at the most recent Christmas market at the school, it was busy, and Levine anticipates there will be another spring craft market next year, describing herself as "really pleased" with the response.

Anyone interested in getting involved with the PAC is invited to register with the private  which has close to 400 members, or email parksidepac@ gmail.com.
