Santa Claus Craft Fair

Santa Claus is coming to town.

The 10th annual 'Santa Presents' Craft Fair fundraiser takes place this weekend at the Penticton Lakeside Resort.

Organizer Marg Nobel says vendor space at this event goes fast.

"This show is by invitation. We mail out invitations to artists in the spring and the 75 spots are always filled very quickly," says Nobel.

She says the show has raised over $31,000 for breast cancer research since it started a decade ago.

"We create an indoor festival atmosphere that also ties in with October's Breast Cancer Awareness month. The 'power of pink' is dispersed throughout the show," says Nobel.

The show takes place on Saturday from 10 am - 5 pm and on Sunday from 10 am
- 4 pm. Santa arrives each day at 1 pm.
