Special to the Signal Star
This past Saturday, St.
George's Anglican Church in
Goderich hosted a Victorian
Tea and Collections of the
Past event celebrating Cana-
da's 150th birthday. Local col-
lectors displayed various
antiques, historical pieces,
and personal favourites from
their eclectic collections—
made up of delicate china-
ware, prints of rare photo-
graphs depicting Goderich's
early days, and old-timey
toys, among other pieces—
while visitors were treated to
a traditional high tea
experience.
