It’s chaos in Vernon once again.
The 41st annual Creative Chaos is back today, Saturday and Sunday.
Vendors come from all over Western Canada to showcase their work.
“This year, we are even welcoming two vendors from Quebec,” said director Frances Callaghan.
There will be 220 exhibitors along with food and entertainment sections.
There will be a variety of products available during Chaos, including body products, pottery, specialty foods, clothing, jewelry, wine and more.
“It’s our first year to have liquor from locals,” said Ingrid Baron, Creative Chaos chairperson.
Baron has been to all 41 fairs and says the fair has grown over the years.
“It started off just in one room. Now it’s been expanded to all three buildings.”
This year, Chaos will showcase Cherryville Elementary’s art projects.
“We are also proud to award three scholarships to Vernon graduating students who are continuing on with the post-secondary programs in the arts,” said Callaghan.
Organizers expect about 20,000 people take in Chaos this weekend.
Doors will open today from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Look for Chaos at the Vernon Recreation Complex, including the auditorium, the Vernon Curling Club and the Priest Valley Arena.
Admission is free but donations will go to the Vernon food bank.
