Last weekend passersby on Kawehnoke had a chance to Buy Local. There was locally made jewelry and other knick knacks, treats from local vendors, a jump house for the kids and some fun Halloween swag at the Akwesasne Local Market Fall Festival.
These came from the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne Department of Economic Development who set up a booth and gave away mugs, Halloween treat bags, pens and other goodies as part of their Buy Local campaign. The kids enjoyed the jump house and had a chance to get their face painted up by Victoria Ransom. Her work can be seen anywhere there is a gathering and the children enjoy her designs.
There was a snack truck available for something hot and a few youth businessmen and women like Sarah Bella Creations and Sabastian's Popcorn were on-hand giving away free samples and there were more seasoned salespeople selling jewelry and other handmade items.
