Unique items from around the world have made their way to Thompson.
This week marks the 26th annual Ten Thousand Villages Sale.
Long-time organizer Bea Shantz tells us more:
"Ten thousand villages is a fair trade organization that helps third world countries to sell products that they have skills in the craft and then they help develop it, into a marketable product for North American markets".
Bea says 10% of the proceeds stay in the Thompson, and is usually donated to a cause in the community.
Bea and her husband Dale have helped organize the sale since the late 80’s, but this year they’ve handed over the reins to resident Kate Roth.
The sale is at 52 Caribou Road, and runs until Saturday.
