Plans are progressing to have SouthFields Village show itself to the community.
SouthFields Village Expo promises to be an epic event that is scheduled to take place next Saturday (Nov. 16) at SouthFields Village Pubic School.
It will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Event organizer Yevgenia Casale has predicted it’s going to be quite a show.
“There will be a little bit of everything and it will be a showcase for all sorts of people, groups and organizations in the community,” she stated.
Local small businesses will be displaying their products and services on the main floor, with a farmers’ market and chefs’ challenge. The challenge will be judged by Mayor Marolyn Morrison, Councillor Allan Thompson, Trustee Stan Cameron and Jason Taylor of Taylor’d for Taste, who was the resident chef for the SouthFields Village Farmers’ Market.
There will also be a showcase of one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces and other accessories; a Zumba demonstration; a mock birthday party toy drive, including a magic show at noon; drop-in hands on pottery spinning; artist Mark Grice, who will be doing his live painting show; a mini-arcade; etc.
Casale said there will be 10 speakers. “They’re going to be talking about a wide variety of topics,” she said.
“There’s a little something for everybody,” she added. “I’m pretty excited.”
Proceeds from the event will be going to support various initiatives around town, including helping buy sports equipment and musical instruments for Mayfield Secondary and SouthFields Village Public School, Cystic Fibrosis, Friends of the Caledon Public Library, Family Transition Place, Caledon Meals on Wheels and more.
