We welcomed the Christmas spirit into the South Surrey Recreation Centre with our second annual Christmas Craft Fair on Nov. 10.
With 86 tables of Christmas enthusiasts displaying their products, crafts and beautiful hand-made goods, the centre was alive with activity.
Food bank representatives were on hand to accept donations, and the community generously donated $541 in cash and 215 pounds of food.
Well done, residents of Surrey. We continue our collection of food at the recreation centre all year, so if you are attending classes, please bring in a non-perishable food item.
• Due to popular demand, we have asked Enjoy bus tours to offer another Big Vancouver Christmas Lights Tour on Tuesday, Dec. 4, with pickups at both the Cloverdale Recreation Centre and South Surrey Recreation Centre.
