HERITAGE FESTIVAL RICHMOND HILL

Here we are at the Richmond hill festival, and every thing was going well, every one having fun and you guessed it RAIN!! Well I was not too impress with the pouring rain off and on, so the sales were not what I expected. It seems as though every time we decide to take part in an outside event it rains.
We have one more event to do and hopefully this one works for us. The Stouffville Strawberry Festival July 2nd. hope to see you all there.
Here are some pictures from the Festival.


Betty finished this beautiful baby blanket and donated it for the fundraiser.




The table full of great stuff.








The girls having a chat, and knitting away.












And a few more pics.















Thank you all for taking time from your family and the weekend to help out, it is very much appreciated.
