Fair Trade Fair this weekend at Trinity Lutheran Church

COEUR d’ALENE — Shoppers can add some cultural variety to their gift lists this weekend at the 12th annual Fair Trade Fair at Trinity Lutheran Church.

Two local moms wanted to do some good and demonstrate to their young daughters how to take a worldview and care for others around the planet. Now, 12 years later, the daughters are carrying on the legacy and offering artful crafts made by people in developing countries. The fair supports providing fair and living wages for these creations.

Purchasable items include baskets, jewelry, ornaments, musical instruments, hats, mittens, gloves, chocolates, jams, coffee and more.

The goods come from dozens of countries, including India, Peru, Nepal, Vietnam, Nepal, Kenya and Uganda.

The 12th annual Fair Trade Fair goes from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday at Trinity Lutheran Church, 812 N. Fifth St. Admission is free.
