Sunflower Art and Craft Fest returns weekend of September 9th

YORKTON – The Sunflower Art and Craft Market will return to the city on September 9th and 10th.

"For 2020 and 2021 we couldn't have Sunflower because of COVID-19 and so we've been on hiatus for two years," said Tonia Vermette, Administrator with the Yorkton Arts Council.

"We're really excited about coming back for 2022," said Vermette, adding, "we've got exhibitors coming from across Canada again as far away as from Quebec."

Vermette said the event is expecting over 110 vendors to be in attendance.

"Everyone who comes to Sunflower is the creator of their own product," said Vermette, adding, "that's sort of changed over the years – lots of people are doing really professional stuff just out of their own homes, but all of them are the creators of the products that they make."

Vermette said the types of products available at Sunflower 2022 include paintings, photography, food items, stuff for pets, pottery, wood work, knitted wears, clothing, bath products, garden products and more.

"There's something for everyone at Sunflower," said Vermette.

Admission for the event is $5.00 for adults and $2.00 for children 12 and under.

"We're just hoping it will be another great weekend," said Vermette, adding, "we're so looking forward to it after two years."
