The Yellowknives Dene First Nation will hold its annual community market and fall harvest fair in Ndilǫ on Saturday.
Starting at 1pm in the Ndilǫ Garden, the fair – organized with the help of Ecology North – will include some of the First Nation’s craft and food vendors, gardening workshops, and a “harvest veggie show-off” in the following categories:
- Biggest beet
- Most unique vegetable or fruit
- Longest carrot
- Most beautiful bouquet
- Best-looking pie
- Best submission from someone aged under 18
The show-off will run until 4pm. Residents are encouraged to bring their entries to celebrate locally harvested food.
Transportation from Dettah to Ndilǫ will be provided from 12:30pm-3pm, as well as a return trip at 5pm.
