New members have joined the Summerland Fall Fair’s board of directors, but volunteers are still needed as the committee continues to organize this year’s event.
The fair is held on Sept. 8 and 9, the weekend following Labour Day.
“We can always use help,” said Connie Davis, president of the fair. “Everyone has something to offer.”
Among the positions to fill are a convener for the small animals category and a convener for the homemade beer and wine category.
Davis said people with computer skills are also needed for some of the preparation and recording work.
“There’s a lot behind the scenes people are not aware of,” she said.
The theme for this year’s fair is Take A Bite, but Davis said there are few changes in the works for this fair.
She said organizers are working to get not-for-profit groups to exhibit at the fair.
While there is a charge for commercial organizations at the fair, not-for-profit groups are not charged.
She is also looking for sponsors for specific categories at the fair.
Those interested in volunteering, sponsoring or setting up a booth at the fair are asked to contact the fair at 250-583-9178 or by e-mail at info@summerlandfallfair.com.
The Fall Fair office, at the lower level of 13228 Kelly Ave., is open Wednesdays from 1 to 4 p.m.
