We will be selling our crafts, including our cute felted creatures and cacti, at The Artisans’ Festival in the beautiful Kitty Coleman Woodland Gardens The Festival, which features high quality works of art, runs on Saturday and Sunday:

August 31 and September 1 from 10:00 to 5:00, and

Monday, September 2 from 10:00 to 4:00.

The Woodland Gardens are located at 6183 Whitaker Road in Courtenay

For the 13th year running, a group of about 30 senior-aged women from Grandmother Groups across the Island will be riding 275 kilometers from Campbell River to Victoria, raising funds to support their sisters in Africa.

To read an inspiring essay on these remarkable women, click here.

The ride takes place from September 6 – 8 and two women from the Comox Valley are taking part: Maxine Bowen, and Sue Taylor, who both deserve our financial backing for their efforts, and would welcome your pledge.

Along the way, Grandmother Groups offer the riders meals, snacks and encouragement, and the Glacier Grannies will be providing lunch for these intrepid women on Friday, September 6 at Bette A.’s ocean-side home, 4910 Island Highway South, Union Bay.

We expect the cyclists to arrive at about 12, and would welcome visitors to share a meal with them, and cheer them on their way.

Lunch costs $10. Please let us know through the form on the “contact us” page if you plan to attend. We look forward to seeing you there!

Saturday, September 7 from 8 to 11, in the car park

Many Grannies are downsizing over the summer and loading up their car trunks with gently-used items for sale.

We are collecting quality costume jewelry and will have an extensive display for patrons to choose from. Come early for the best selection!

We will also be selling our AIDS Angels and other crafts.

Enjoy coffee and home baking while you browse.
