LITTLE CURRENT—A first for Little Current, the Northeast Town is hosting a bridal show on Sunday, March 6 at the Northeast Town recreation centre and is encouraging soon-to-be-brides, want-to-be-brides and everyone in between to come check out the plethora of local offerings in the world of weddings.
Lisa Hallaert, acting events coordinator and museum curator, and the event’s creator, explained that she has also put out a call for gently used wedding and bridesmaid dresses and the response has been great. The Lions Den will be transformed into a bridal boutique complete with ‘dressing rooms’ to try on the dresses with the frocks sold by the municipality on behalf of the sellers.
From 2 to 4 pm, a card making workshop will be offered for those wishing to give their big day a special touch with homemade invitations or thank you notes. Country Corks and Manitoulin Brewing Co. will also be on hand to provide samples.
“We have 31 vendors ranging from photographers, event planners, cake creators, a mortgage broker, hairdressers, aestheticians, officiants, event planners, jewellery makers, photographers, DJs and so much more,” Ms. Hallaert said. “The only off-Island vendor is a CAA travel agent.”
Even if you’re not getting married, there is plenty to see and do, and buy too, Ms. Hallaert added.
“I decided to do it because when we got married here years ago, and we weren’t from here at the time, we couldn’t find anything we needed and had to bring everything from Thunder Bay,” Ms. Hallaert explained.
There is free admission to the Bridal Show on Sunday, March 6 which goes from 2 to 6 pm with great door prizes to be had and refreshments too.
