Legion craft sale The craft and bake sale held for the second year in a row by the Wingham Legion Auxiiliary, was declared a definite success by Carol Farnell, an Auxiliary spokesman. Saturday's sale offered a Wider variety of crafts, Mrs. Farnell reported, than last year's. Crafters from as far away as Niagara Falls and Sauble Beach entered this year's sale as well as a large percentage of local people. "It's surprising how much talent there is in this -town, but it's hidden," said Mrs. Farnell, adding that a craft show like Saturday's is a good chance for local people to get out and show their wares, plus make a little money. The sale featured Christmas crafts and decorations, paintings, wooden toys, ceramic pieces, plants and baking. Twenty-four exhibitors took part in this year's sale, down one from last year. Mrs. Farnell said the crowd was down slightly from last year's sale, but she blamed that on the weather. As for next year, the sale is definitely going to be held again. pr SHEILA RINTOUL and Janet Marston, both from the Wingham Legion.
