The Knotty Dotters marimba band’s catchy rhythms had the wee ones on their feet at the entertainment stage at the Hackett Park Arts and Crafts Fair. The 31st annual event, held Aug. 18 and 19 this year, is the biggest annual fundraiser for the Sunshine Coast Arts Council. Scheduled to coincide with the Festival of the Written Arts, the juried fair attracts thousands of visitors over the two days and offers the best in the works of B.C. artisans, plus live music, face painting and food vendors.
