Ten Thousand Villages fair trade world craft sale co-ordinator Laura Baerg is ecstatic about strong community support shown for the recent event, which saw sales of just under $25,000. Nearly all of the items offered at the four-day event at Marmot Ridge sold. She said people of the South Cariboo should be excited about helping to make such a difference in the lives of the artisans in developing countries who crafted the items.

Prior to his work in the South Cariboo, Matthews says he also served a decade as the top fundraiser for the Prince George Knights of Columbus Egg-aThon, to help children in the burn unit at B.C.
