Folks | Pages Spring Craft Fair 2011

Summerlea's annual spring craft fair, bake sale and book sale, a joint enterprise of the Lachine District Girl Guides and the Summerlea Outreach Committee, was held at Summerlea United Church Saturday, April 16, 2011, a cool breezy day with showers and occasional snow flurries. The proceeds from this event are shared by the Guides, to support camping activities, and by the Outreach Committee, to support community outreach activities. The Summerlea Youth Group played a major role in setting up and taking down / cleaning up after the fair, as well as in making the quiches for lunch. Sunday morning there was no evidence that the fair had occurred, apart from the announcement of success by Linda and Susan. Also involved were the Guides, Pathfinders and Rangers, who served lunch in the lunch room. Our thanks to Linda Rodriquez Rodd and Susan McKenzie for organizing the fair, and to all their helpers for producing such an enjoyable and successful event. Here are shots of some of the participants. You can pick the icon to see the full-size photo. To return here after viewing the photo, click Back on your browser.

Entering Acadia Hall, hot dogs were available from some cool young ladies (and some equally cool parents).

Shots of most of the artisans and their wares.

At the time this shot was taken, the Summerlea bake table was staffed by Leslie McEwen, Barbara Costello, Pat & Jim Cameron and Dale Romagosa.

The book room cashiers Michèle Bitauld and Wendy McKay serving Kathy Williams. There was lots of room to browse when the photos were taken.

The Rangers were set up outside the lunch room. Perhaps that helped generate lots of activity.

Some male relatives and friends of the Girl Guides and Outreach Committee manned the kitchen.

Jeannine Morin sold tickets and Girl Guides scraped plates.

while the rest of us fed our faces.

Our thanks to all who participated to create another enjoyable craft fair, in support of Lachine Guiding activities and Summerlea community outreach.
