Organizers are looking for people with interesting skills and projects to present at the third annual Surrey Skill Share Fair.
The event will take place Sunday, Oct. 2 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre, 13458 107A Ave.
The Skill Share Fair is an informal community-led event that provides a comfortable setting for people to share skills and learn from others.
Presenters may choose from a variety of formats for sharing, including hosting an information table, running a one- to two-hour workshop or being a wandering performer or teacher. Presenters will receive a free lunch.
Workshops are small and friendly, so presenters do not have to be experts.
The Skill Share Fair is a great opportunity for people to share their skills, interests or projects for the first time. Support is available if needed.
Workshop proposals can be submitted online at www.surreyskillshare.ca or info@surreyskillshare.ca
