number to the basement of the Anglican Church in the village.

summer and with the help of those
helpful people who have watered
and weeded flower boxes and beds
around town have made a very
pleasing display.

being tied for the 1 st prize plaque,
Ruth Sauve won the second prize
plaque and Eluned McNair the
third prize plaque. Heather Dob

sale was also a feature of the day.

enjoyable afternoon and the

on August 10 was well attended by
the general public.
