On Saturday, November 15, the Darling White Lake Centre was the venue for a locally organized and hosted craft fair. The following is a copy of the report that was published in the Lanark Era following the event.
As always, kudos to the organizers for another successful event at the Centre.

What started as a small idea—a cozy community craft show tucked beside White Lake—quickly grew into something much bigger than we expected. Throughout the day, neighbours wandered in with smiles, local makers proudly shared their creations, and the room buzzed with that special kind of holiday-season kindness you can’t quite put into words.
But the real magic happened quietly, one can of food and one small donation at a time.
By the end of the show, our little community had gathered 218 lbs of food and $205 in donations for the Arnprior Food Bank. This morning, everything was delivered—boxes stacked high, bags full to the brim, and hearts just as full.
It was a beautiful reminder that when people come together, even in a small hall by the lake, they can create something truly meaningful.
