Cody & Megan's Fall Fair for Food Security
Mom & son, Cody and Megan believe in helping the environment and bringing good changes to the community in which they live, and so they organize fundraisers for a local charity on the Sunshine Coast every year, since 2021.
They’ve helped the SPCA in Sechelt, Heritage Playhouse in Gibsons, Earth Store in Pender Harbour, and this year, One Straw Society is their lucky charity of choice. As a part of their fundraising, they believe in working for those funds, and so this year they will be walking for 24 hours (100,000 steps!!!) along with hosting a mini fall fair! They are very excited to support One Straw and look forward to a bake off, market and pumpkin carving at the Seaside center on Saturday, Oct. 19! Their adventures can be seen on kelsosclimateaction.ca
Take a look around One Straw Society’s website to see what they’re supporting, but in particular, One Straw’s new food waste / commissary kitchen!
Fall Fair!

Pumpkin Carving Contest
Bring on the classic Fall Faire Pumpkin Carving Contest! Carve at home, and bring your finished masterpiece pumpkin to the Seaside Center by 1:30 on Saturday. Categories and prizes for adults (17+), teens (13-16), and kids up to 12. Label your pumpkin with name & phone number, so we can reach you when you win! We’ll be able to see your pumpkin in the light and in the dark to get the best effects, so be creative, have fun & best of luck!
The Great Sunshine Coast Bake-Off
The Great Sunshine Coast Bake-Off has prizes valued at over $1,000 for first place for adults, and $200 in gift cards for teens (sorry littles, food safe means no entry on this one, but you can enter the pumpkin carving)! Got a family-famous pie recipe? Sign up and bring in your beautiful, ghoulish, or hilarious looking cake, cupcakes or pie for the world to see (and taste)! Entries are open to ages 13+ for each category, and will be judged by local expert bakers & pastry chefs.
Contest entries will be sold by the slice in this fundraiser for food security!
