The Ellis Building, 1024 Main Street, has seen the incarnation of many different events. It’s a great casual space for hosting events and we quite like the sound of The Main Street Mixed Bag and what organizers have in store. As the name depicts the event is a mixed bag, but with a bit of a twist. Originally billed as a yard sale, local makers keen on low table fees jumped on board. There is one other very unique aspect we love. Young makers, aged 16 and under get a discounted table and an opportunity to be part of market. We have to say we love this! On that note, we hear a young maker is creating cool jewellery with stones. His business is Natural Design Squamish and he designs some beautiful pieces with a little help from mom. We also know recently featured Mister We Are The Weirdos will be on hand for the upcoming market along with a whole other talented group of artisans along side some unique offerings. Stop by Sunday, March 10th between 11:00 am and 6:00 pm. Admission is free and dogs are welcome, on a leash of course. If you want to see which vendors will be on hand, check them out on Instagram @mainstreetmixedbag.
