In 1990 there were just 13 vendors, a white elephant table with yard sale-type wares, a bake sale and a book fair. Despite its small size, the event raised approximately $4000 for the old Riverside Public School\u2019s library, said Inga Craig, Riverside\u2019s head secretary.<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong> <broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>By 1993, when the current school was built, it had already become a popular event so organizers took advantage of the space to increase the number of vendors to 50 and added a raffle table. It still wasn\u2019t enough. Five years ago, they expanded out of the gym and into the school\u2019s hallways to accommodate another 30 vendors and the sale still has a waiting list of hopeful artisans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has just kept growing and growing,\u201d said Craig. The fundraiser now nets the school about $10,000 per year from table rentals, the raffle table, a bake sale, snack sales, and a silent auction of themed baskets created by Riverside students.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s an enviable sum at a time when schools are under a budget crunch. The funds raised have been used to purchase cross-country ski equipment, snowshoes, maple syrup equipment, smart board technology for the classrooms, playground equipment, scripts and supplies for the school\u2019s annual musical, and books for the annual Battle of the Books. They also brought in motivational speaker Chris Koch \u2013 who was born without arms and legs \u2013 to share his message, \u201cIf I can\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll of the money raised benefits students,\u201d said Craig. \u201cNext year we\u2019re planning to install another swing set and a community garden to supply vegetables for our breakfast program. And the winter equipment requires upkeep \u2013 a minimum of five times each winter the students go over to our 40 acres across the road to use the skis and snowshoes. We also purchase wood to burn to make maple syrup.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s Riverside Arts and Crafts Show runs November 14 and 15.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/10\/Poster-for-2015-Riverside-show.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6021\" src=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/10\/Poster-for-2015-Riverside-show.jpg\" alt=\"Riverside Arts and Crafts Show\" width=\"1404\" height=\"1816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/10\/Poster-for-2015-Riverside-show-630x815.jpg 630w, https:\/\/media-doppleronline-ca.s3-accelerate.amazonaws.com\/2015\/10\/Poster-for-2015-Riverside-show.jpg 1404w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1404px) 100vw, 1404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45657\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What began as a small effort to raise funds for a local school has grown into a wildly successful endeavour sought after by artisans and anticipated by holiday shoppers.
