Let the Fall Fair continue at Quality Farm & Garden

As the originator of the Gibsons Fall Fair, I am extremely distressed to hear this news. The Fall Fair is held every Thanksgiving weekend for 15 years and has always been a welcome and well received event to the community. In return, we welcomed not only paying vendors,  but the Lions Club,  the Hospital Auxilary, and other local non- profit groups to fundraiser for their organizations. The Fall Fair also took 100% of the profits from the Fall Fair and donated them back into the community to an assortment of non profit organizations such as Transition House, Arrowhead, The Salvation Army, Navy League & Sea Cadets, The Wildlife  Refuge, just to name a few. To date these donations total well over $20,000.00. This event has been a community staple that Dave & Betty Wells have supported at no charge to the community for 15 years! Shame on the SCRD for thinking that taking away an event like this is in any way good for our community. I do not think anyone should sit by idle and allow this to happen.
