  The Flight of Fancy > about The Flight
     
  Considered one of the outstanding craft shops and galleries in Canada, The Flight celebrated 25 years in 2005.

The Flight's home since 1980, though built in 1845 once serviced three-masted schooners as a shipping office for Bear River's largest employer, the Clarke Brothers. The one constant in Bear River remains the tide being in or out twice every 25 hours, the heartbeat of this historical and beautiful little village.
