Sunday, November 8th
Fair Trade Fair offers an opportunity to Shop Fair, Shop Local, and Learn
What is Fair Trade? Why is it an important means in helping to address global poverty? Learn answers to those questions and more at the Jewish Community of Greater Stowe’s (JCOGS) Fair Trade Fair on Sunday, November 8th, between 1 and 5 pm.
Fair Trade Burlington Network, executive director, and member of the Advisory Council for Fairtrade America, Sandy Wynne, will be on hand at 2pm to deliver a special lecture to help the northern Vermont community better understand the unique aspects that make up “Fair Trade.”
In addition to learning about Fair Trade, the community will have the opportunity to take part in doing their fair share of Fair Trade shopping at the fair. Vendors will include: Commodities Market, Fair Trade Judaica, Maya Works, Mayan Hands, Divine Chocolate, Dunc’s Mill Rum and Ten Thousand Villages. Among the Fair Trade products to explore and buy will include: food, handbags, Judaica, scarves, jewelry, baskets, liquor and more. The fair offers the community a wonderful opportunity to repair the world (the Jewish concept of Tikkun Olam) while at the same time getting a jump on holiday shopping!
