The Show held at the Memorial Arena, hosted several local busi- nesses and was entry by any amount of donation at the door. The funds raised by donations at the door went directly to the Chari- table Fund, whose mission is to provide relief to the sick by granting a wish to children or parents with a life threatening illness and their families. "We have done everything from monetary funds to equipment in a home such as a lit for a house to become accessible," explained Erin Wilson, Coldwell Banker Sales Representative and Charita- ble Fund Committee Board Member. "The sky is the limit and people can come to us and make a request, and our board will vote on it.." In addition to the local busi- nesses showcasing their products at each of their booths, the Home and Cottage Show also offered a BBQ for those in attendance. The proceeds from the BBQ went directly to the Super Bath- room Reno for the McDonald Family. Jeremy and Lesley have 11 -year-old twin boys, Tyler and Brandon who suffer with the mobility challenges of Cerebral Palsy and require a more acces- sibly bathroom in their home. "We are so grateful for these businesses involved. They came to us and wanted to help with the McDonald renovation campaign. That's small town for you," said Wilson. The Goderich Home and Cot- tage Show was a weekend of showcasing local businesses and raising funds for families in the community for a hope of a better tomorrow.
