Busy times for LCMA

Hi again,
it has been awhile since my last posting and I have so much to catch up on I don't know where to start so I think I will just jump right in. Since you last heard from me the Agency has been involved in the Expo Labrador Conference and Trade Show as well as the Big land Fair, both here in Goose Bay and the Alberta Gift Show in Edmonton. Picture of booth at Expo Labrador.




We also organized and took part in the 7th Annual Labrador Traditions Christmas Craft Fair here in Goose Bay on the 24th of October at the College of the North Atlantic. This is an LCMA sponsored event which provides an opportunity for the finest crafts in Labrador to be on display and available for purchase. It is traditionally the first Christmas show in the area each year and has become known as the one show you don't want to miss. This year we had 25 exhibitors displaying their work on over 40 tables and exhibits.








As soon as that show is in the books we have to gear up for the Fine Craft and Design Fair in St. John's. This is a Craft Council of Newfoundland and Labrador event and this year will run through 2 weeks in November ( 4 -9 , 11 - 15 ) at the Arts and Culture Center.

We are also in the middle of planning 3 product development workshops throughout different regions of Labrador with 2 starting in the next couple of weeks, I should have more info on those in my next posting.

The last major topic for this fall is we are planning a promotional trip to the North Coast of Labrador later this fall, details are still being worked out and should provide an excellent opportunity for the Agency to introduce itself to the craft producers in that area.
