The event was organized by volunteer Milan Belisle, who is pictured on the right next to Karen Mills, organizer for the Elkford food bank.

It is being organized by Milan Belisle, who volunteers to organize events for the union, and owns BITE ME – freeze dried food, which has been operating for about a month now.

Some examples of those set to be present at the market will be potters, a coffee maker, liqueur vendor, a flower shop, jewellers, and a chocolatier, Belisle said.
