Attention to everyone who visited A Handmade Christmas this past weekend.

A ring was accidentally left at one of the Maker Booths by a patron.

This time of year is always hard for us Kris Kringle Elves. We miss Veronica, our head elf, and all things Kris Kringle. We miss the buzz and energy that built up to the event.

To help us fill the void a bit, is
Liza Taylor's A Handmade Christmas Makers Market on November 15, 16 and 17 at Beban Park in Nanaimo. It will be a great place to do your holiday shopping and experiencing some Christmas fun.

Since the passing of our head Kringler, Veronica, we are not doing a market again this year.

However, Liza Taylor, is hosting a fabulous market at Beban Park. A Handmade Christmas will be a great place to do your holiday shopping.

Check out all the information at Nanaimo & Voyager Magazine.

The Einstein of Entertainers
Al Simmons

CONDUCTOR: Scott MacInnes

He’s a musician! He’s an inventor! He’s a nut! The Einstein of entertainers, wizard of one-liners and lightning bolt of lunacy. His astounding gadgets, preposterous songs, impeccable comic timing and kooky take on classic vaudeville have thrilled and entertained fans of all ages for 54 years. Juno Award winner Al Simmons is a creative genius whose highly original performances of profound wackiness and of off-the-wall inventions have taken the arts of Music and Comedy to unparalleled heights of hilarity. Young or old, you cannot fail to appreciate this man’s frenetic stage antics and mind-boggling lovableness.

“A tour-de-force of ingenious, charming silliness.”
Globe and Mail

It is hard to write this. Veronica, the Kringle Queen, has passed away.

Veronica was the heart and soul behind the Kris Kringle Craft Market. She loved creating the magical experience for everyone.

She was kind, generous, loving and LOVED making people happy.

I for one, will miss this wacky, wise and wonderful woman. I will miss her laugh, her ideas and her passion for Kringling. I will miss our friendship.

Share a memory here if you would like. It will warm our hearts and help keep a bit of her Christmas Spirit around us.

With love,

Kim P

No market for 2021 - Stay safe and be well!

Gringle stole Kringle, but Kringle was not KO'd by Kovid.

But we will see you in 2022!
