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.
