Harvest Fest to Bring Chetwynd Community Together
Chetwynd's Fall Fair returns as Harvest Fest on September 12, organized by the Chetwynd Community Arts Council. The main street will be closed for the one day event with BBQs bake sales and various fundraisers by local non profits. Jen Slater chairs the event aiming to unite families and support community groups. The idea originated with resident Colin McDonald who prompted the Arts Council to launch the festival.
