A Grinchy economy is no match for the
7th annual Fair Trade Market!
9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday November 21-22 and
Friday, Saturday and Sunday November 27-29, 2009
Why buy an over-priced, over-packaged, sweatshop-made, plastic thinga-ma-jig? Cultural entertainment, tasty food, and world-changing goods fill the nation’s largest Fair Trade Market open for it’s seventh year November 21-22 and 27-29, 2009 at Manchester United Methodist Church (129 Woods Mill, Manchester, MO 63011 [click for map]). For an average $20 per handmade item, go green, end poverty, buy a toy for Cindy Lou, a gift for Nana, and find unique gifts to complete any holiday list knowing the artisan has already been paid a fair wage. Not a sweatshop, forced laborer or destructed rain forest in sight. Art, clothing, handcrafts, musical instruments, games, sporting goods, home décor, food, books, toys, jewelry…from more than 50 countries. Tis the season to de-Grinch: shop The Fair Trade Market.
