Grindrod Garlic Festival 2013 We will feature local garlic and produce, local artisans, garlic contests, live music and kids’ entertainment all day. The theme of the Grindrod Garlic Festival is “Homegrown, Homemade, Organic”. Your products must be grown, produced, or crafted in Canada (If you are unsure as to whether you meet these criteria please give Gabriele a call at 250-838-6581). Vendors may set up from 6:30 am to 8.30 am on Sunday. Please check in with the Coordinator on arrival. We highly recommend including a large sign identifying your business name along with a supply of business cards. In order to minimize waste, please bring products to the festival in reusable boxes/containers and sell products in packaging that can be recycled or composted. Product Requested for Garlic Festival Silent Auction: The Grindrod Recreation Association will be holding a silent auction of garlic festival produce and products. All proceeds will go to supporting the finishing of our Grindrod Community Hall. We are asking all vendors to contribute a product sample that is identified to help promote your business. Your samples will be collected the morning of the festival during set-up. Your help and generosity is greatly appreciated. Food vendors are requested to donate meal coupons or a boxed meal, bottled beverages, etc., that will be offered to volunteers.
