In early October Tracie Goodberry, a Reiki practitioner from Lanark County with deep family roots in the Parham area, make a commitment to bringing back a natural health fair to Sharbot Lake. Goodberry organized the fair for two years and then took last year off. This time, with the help of the Frontenac CFDC, not only did the fair return, it expanded to two days and brought in a guest speaker, Jeremy Bennett, for sessions on Friday and Saturday nights. The result was a health fair weekend, which featured massage therapists, Yoga and QiGong practitioners, an organic grower, and much more. The crowds were good, and the vendors spent a lot of time talking, explaining, demonstrating, and giving treatments to an appreciative audience at the St. James Catholic Church hall.
