Family Photo Booth:
A fun family feature at each event is the opportunity to get your seasonal family photos taken by a talented professional family portrait photographer! An easy opportunity to get your images for Christmas cards, presents, and momentos done while you shop.
Live & Local Music:
We are proud to be show casing a range of local musical talent - because shopping is so much better with good music! Local musicians and music students are invited to do short acoustic sets to show case their talents, sell their CDs, or promote their services.
Meet Your Marketers:
A Show of Hands is the creative endeavor of Torben & Sheri Becker. A home crafter/floral designer & a fine woodworker who happen to also be a husband and wife team based right here in the Cowichan Valley.
We have a passion for all things handcrafted, sustainable, and for supporting local art initiatives and community culture. What better way to showcase those passions than through a fun and family focused craft design market event!
