GORE BAY—The Gore Bay community hall was filled with vendors displaying and selling their wares this past Saturday.

The business features cedar hardwood kindling, campfire wood bundles, and Swedish log candles. “any way we can promote businesses such as mine at events like this is good for business.”
“We have 26 vendors here today,” stated Cheryl Chaytor, main organizer of the event. Vendors booths were set up both upstairs and downstairs in the hall. “We have a little bit of everything here, from vendors who are selling makeup, alpaca items, clothing, food and baking stuff, leather crafts, and much more.”
This was the second annual Last Chance Mother’s Day market. The idea of having this market is to provide a chance for independent businesses to show their products. “There are no other markets like this where independent, home businesses to display their goods as well, which is why I decided to start this market,” said Ms. Chaytor.
