By Kate King
Dickens Fair Coordinator
The days are getting shorter and our to-do lists are getting longer. The holiday season is upon us and everywhere we look we see lights, wreaths, festive decorations adorning everything from family homes to city lampposts. The cheer of the season gives us a feeling of warmth as we head into the frostiest time of the year.
James Bay is also warming up for the 34th annual Dickens Fair. Hosted by the James Bay Market Society, this year the fair showcases 60 plus juried local vendors along with activities and attractions for all ages.
