Hi Everyone - with the Victoria Baby Fair finally upon us, we just wanted to let you know that admission at the door will be by CASH ONLY. There is a Coast Capital Savings bank machine in Tillicum Mall right next door, and an ATM in the lobby of Pearkes Recreation Centre.

The Victoria Baby Fair is this weekend! We are so excited... it is going to be a lot of fun! There’s a lot of buzz out there!
We're hearing that the big plan of action for many folks is to decide what they want to see on the main stage and plan their trip to the fair accordingly... then head out with their family or meet up with their friends at the Fair.

We'd like to know what you have planned... send us an email to plans@victoriababyfair.com and let us know when you’re coming, what you’re coming to do, or who you’re coming to see. We'd love to hear from you!

One more note - on Monday, we gave away a gift basket from some of our exhibitors and a pair of tickets to the Fair at the Tinseltots event at the Odeon Theatre. Congratulations to the winner of the basket, Chelsey Woods!

We are there to promote the Victoria Baby Fair taking place next weekend, September 15 & 16th, 10am-5pm at Pearkes Rec Centre and invite you to come!

Do you have something to say about your Breastfeeding Experience?

...then drop by booths 39 & 40 to be part of the "Cafe Au Lait" video documentary where women are talking candidly about breastfeeding. One story can make a difference…

This video documentary is your chance to share your experiences. Were you frustrated with the lack of information/support? Were you thrilled with it? Do you have a funny story? Or is there something you wished you'd have known about breastfeeding, and want to tell other moms about? This video experience is for you. And, maybe it'll make a difference to another mom.
Moboleez (Modern Bonnets for Breastfeeding Babes) and MBS Video Productions (Capturing your most cherished memories on film) are partnering with Victoria Baby Fair to produce a documentary-style video to be recorded at the Fair. Visitors to the Victoria Baby Fair will be invited to sit down and talk about their experience with breastfeeding and the interviews will be put together into a feature called “Café au Lait”.

We hope you’ll stop by and share your story!
