There’s been a lot of general grinching about the closing of Patterson’s in Fulford Village, as we’ll all miss having Bruce around daily in these parts. However happy change is afoot (for both Bruce and Fulford) with our soon to be new neigbours busily fixing up the Fulford landmark for their opening this spring. In the meantime the rest of us in Fulford are putting on a festive face this holiday season. As Marilyn who runs the Fulford Marina with her husband aptly says: “Patterson’s may be closed but Fulford is not!” In fact, we’re open, with bells on!
Please join us on Friday, December 16th, for an evening of festive frolicking, to get your glow on Fulford style. Things kick of at 5pm. There will be live music in the streets by Samba de Soliel & Sir Bassa Crew, hot apple cider, carolling and late night shopping from the merchants. Weather permitting there will also be a parade of boats in the harbour (fingers crossed we’ve finished with the windy bits in November). Bruce is opening up the parking lot for the evening to make space for the event. And though there’s a lot of Christmas/Solstice lights twinkling in these parts, we recommend that you bring a long a flashlight as the full moon is waning.
So, come on down to sample the world’s flavours and artisan markets!
You can also enter to win some very fabulous prizes! Each business will have a draw; Stuff & Nonsense – $50 gift certificate, Jambalaya – Leather Journal, Spokespeople – $50 Bike Tune-Up, Knotty Threads – Hand Woven Wool Scarf, & Rock Salt Restaurant & Cafe – Mexican Cooking Lesson with our Chef Joel! To enter you just need to fill out a ballot at each of the participating businesses as each business will have their own draw.
If you have any questions regarding this event please give Shannon, manager @ the Rock Salt Restaurant & Cafe a call 250-653-4833.
Hope you can join us!
Peace Out.
