Summerlea Bazaar 2010

The 2010 Summerlea bazaar took place Saturday November 20, 2010. The weather looked promising, although a deluge of rain, hail and wind about 8:30 led to considerable concern, and those waiting outside were allowed to wait inside, out of the storm. Following the storm the weather cleared up to become fair, cool and windy, but no impediment to dedicated bazaar shoppers. Inside, the ambience was festive and warm, and a good time was had by all. The finance committee reports that it was financially successful as well. Many thanks from the Summerlea family to all those who participated in ways too numerous to tell. Special thanks to Nancy Mark and Sinclair Harris for acting as coordinators once again. And to Kate and Tom Smart who directed (and did) the setup of tables, chairs, etc. on Thursday. And to The Rodd family, who set up the books the Sunday afternoon before the bazaar as well as organizing and allocating all the stuff that arrived on the stage as bazaar donations, running the White Elephant boutique and cleaning up afterwards (the stage has rarely looked so neat). Thanks to George Provias and John Hendery, who set up the country store and installed the festive lighting early Thursday morning and put it all away Monday morning. Thanks also to the Summerlea Youth Group, Guides, Scouts, and leaders, and students of Lakeside Academy, who helped by setting up tables and books, serving in the lunch room and putting everything away after the bazaar, so the church and halls were spick and span for Sunday morning.

Start Time Rev Scott Patton makes some remarks, says a prayer, then calls the start.

The Lunch Room

The Lunch Room Helpers, and some dessert still left

By about 4 PM the scouts, youth group, leaders and Summerlea folk had the church and halls bereft of any vestiges of a bazaar, apart from the Country Store which remained in place for some Sunday after-church discount sales. It was dismantled and stored Monday morning by George Provias and John Hendery, to leave Acadia Hall ready for badminton.

Thus ends another successful and fun bazaar. Thanks to everyone who participated - we'll see you next year.
