Focus Fair is an indie arts/craft show started on the lawns and living rooms of our founding members. Our ethos is to provide a space where artists can connect with like minded customers, keep costs affordable, allowing our artists to make some money, without spending it on high tabling fees.

"So Chief Betts is sending private messages to former MP Michelle Ferreri — so she can publicly call Peterborough “Gotham City” at a gathering of Conservatives⁉️
This was on September 19, 2025. She’s hadn’t been our MP for months.

She was paid for this gig

New from me! The GE property at 107 Park Street generates more than $500,000 in property taxes for the city each year. That number stands to decrease if a proposal to demolish many of the buildings on the 50-acre site goes ahead.
