• Raise Her Glass – Mocktails are hot! In this workshop, you will shake, stir, and sip delicious alcohol-free creations in a relaxed social setting
  

• Raise Her Roots – What could make you more ready for sring than a flower arranging workshop led by expert florists from The Flower Stop?
  

• Raise Her Creativity – Get in touch with your inner artist with a guided crafting session.

After the workshops, the market and social time continue, followed by inspirational stories from local women and performances by local talent.

Swing into Spring Show & Sale

April 25 & 26 - Morinville Leisure Centre

We’re wrapping up the season with a community cornerstone: Morinville’s biggest annual celebration of local business. The two-day Swing into Spring Show & Sale transforms the MLC arena into a sprawling showcase of local entrepreneurs, contractors, and market finds (plus a family fun zone - bring the kids).

It’s a long-time community favourite — part trade show, part market, part “I didn’t know we had that here.”

More details will roll out as we get closer to the dates, but you should definitely have this on your radar.
