Storytelling - Words & Images with Christina Leist

Clothing Swap

Those who love the thrill of the hunt should make their way over to the clothing swap taking place on January 22 from 5 pm to 7:30 pm at the Gibsons & District Public Library. Bring along any unwanted clothing and accessory items that are clean and in good repair. Donate those and then shop around for something new to love. This is definitely the case where something old can be something new and wonderful for someone else.

Calling all deadheads - on January 24 at the Gibsons’ branch of The Royal Canadian Legion - get ready for an epic show worthy of any Grateful Dead fan.
