The first weekend of December usually means a giant craft fair and party in the Cove. However, as with most things in 2020, this year will look a little different.
There’s no CSA craft fair and a giant party isn’t in the works, but perennial Light Up Bowen organizer Basia Lieske still hopes to pull off a season of cheer. But with a month to go, Lieske and head elf Jewal Maxwell need help.
They hope to decorate and light up the entire Cove and keep the lights up for several weeks and for this need volunteers to help put up the decorations.
They also hope to hold a travelling mini Santa Claus parade. The parade would visit each neighbourhood and Santa would visit with the folks for about 20 minutes in each neighbourhood. For this they need:
- To build a number of floats and therefore need several flatbed trucks with pickup trucks to pull them.
- A number of handy people with saws and tools who can build props, plus painters.
If you would like to help please text 778-957-0947 or email [email protected].
Lieske has also set up a GoFundMe for funds to pull off a COVID version of Light Up Bowen with a goal of $10,000.
