The Sunflower Arts and Craft sale was just a small show in 1979, starting on the grounds of the old Victoria school. Since then it has grown into an event that fills the Gallagher Centre with a wide variety of different artists and artisans. The show is sponsored by the Yorkton Arts Council, and dedicated volunteers put on the show annually.
This year, there will be 150 vendors, a mix of new faces and seasoned exhibitors such as Zach Dietrich and Wendy Parsons of Moose Jaw, who have been part of the event since its inception. The booths themselves will run the gamut, including pottery, photography, fibre arts, jewelry, edible items, metal work, and so much more.
The show will take place on Friday, September 7 from 5 to 10 and Saturday, September 8 from 10 to 5. Admission is $5 for adults, $3 for students and free for pre-schoolers. The show is always the first weekend after Labour Day.
