Homes built as early as 1834 to newer homes were decked out in Christmas finer. There was an endless number of ideas and unique combinations of material and everyday items making a one-of-a- kind decorative piece. The tour ended at Benmiller Inn where hot apple cider and shortbread cookies were served in this peaceful riverside inn. The ladies of Auburn and area are busy quilting again.

Building a mystery Gail Fricker stopped by East Wawanosh Public School last week to teach the Grade 1 class how to use their detective skills. She used the real story of the three little pigs and the students built a model town and were instructed to take down any clues when they came up. Rylan Zimmer places a building on the edge of town while Paige Fear looks on. The program is done in Huron and Perth and is now part of the Grade 1/2 curriculum.
