From unique handcrafted jewelry to intricate pottery and fine art pieces, there will be something to cater to every taste and preference. Moreover, food enthusiasts can savor an array of delectable local delicacies, adding a flavorful touch to the entire experience.

"As volunteers, our mission is to enrich the experience of every individual who visits Lieber and Cataract Falls SRA," said a representative of Friends of Lieber SRA. "Through this event, we aim to raise funds to support various initiatives that promote environmental conservation and provide engaging recreational opportunities for all."
