North Shore represented

at annual Children’s Show

SIX YEARS ago North Vancouver
mom Marilyn Taylor produced her
first Children’s Show to fill the
need she saw for an event for
young families.

By ELIZABETH COLLINGS
News Reporter

Each year since then the
Children’s Show has grown and
this year is no exception as the
show has increased its number of
exhibitors from last year by 40 per
cent.

Taylor is expecting to see 10,000
adults and 5,000 kids at the
three-day fair held in the PNE
Showmart Building from Oct. 20-
22.

The 110 booths offer almost
every kind of service or product
parents-to-be or families with
children could ever need.

Both the practical and the
bizarre will be on view at the
Children’s Show.

In the fashion end of the show,
a number of North Shore
businesses will be hosting booths
to show off their latest fashions.

Dr. Denton’s of Park Royal
South will be having fashion shows
twice daily with professionally
trained child models showing off
such fun clothes as two-piece
sleepers with grow-a-size magic
snaps and rubber duckie imprints
on the soles. °

Dr. Denton’s will also have two
booths carrying the store’s lines
for kids from six months to 14
years old. Quality cotton is Dr. D’s
specialty and store owner Chantal
Rivest says mail orders will be
taken and delivered free of charge.

eMargaret’s Quilts & Pillows is
the brain child of Margaret Stec
from North Vancouver. When Stec
came to Canada from Poland she
couldn’t find quality quilts for
children and therefore applied
herself to filling this void.
