Full Moon Swap - Harvest Moon

Join us for our September Full Moon Swap at the Canmore Public Library!

This year, September's full moon is known as the Harvest Moon. The full moon that appears closest to the fall equinox always takes on the title of Harvest Moon because, unlike other full moons, it will rise at roughly the same time (around sunset) for several days in a row, giving farmers extra evenings of moonlight to work by and finish their harvests before fall frost sets in! 

To celebrate the Harvest Moon, our September Full Moon Swap will be a community swap of all things fall related. Fall themed home decor (think leaves, plaid, pumpkins etc), cozy blankets, mugs for a hot cup of tea, candles, baking items like pie plates or aprons, baskets, or anything else that might be connected to fall! If you have clothing to donate, consider saving it for the Clothing Swap-o-Rama coming up next month!

So gather your gently used items and join us in celebrating the Harvest Moon at our September Full Moon Swap!

The swap will take place outside at the Elevation Place Plaza, weather permitting. In the case of inclement weather, the swap will be moved inside the Library. 

Full Moon Swap - September Harvest Moon

Our Full Moon Swaps will be held monthly, on or around the full moon. Each swap will have a theme connected to the name of the full moon that month, for example the Flower Moon or the Wolf Moon. We encourage community members to bring gently used items they no longer need or want to the CPL the day of the swap as a donation. Items will be displayed on tables and are available for anyone to take home with them, so please be sure the items you bring are items you are prepared to give away. Everything is FREE and everyone is welcome! You do not need to donate items in order to attend or take items home. 

We hope these swaps will encourage community connection and help keep usable items from piling up in a landfill! Any items leftover at the end of the swap will be donated to a charity of our choice.   See you then!
