On Saturday, Nov. 23, the Spilstead Hall hosted the Annual Spilstead Bazaar and Auction bringing the small surrounding community together in the spirit of Chirstmas and festivity. “We had quite a few vendors, and some were new, while others were returning ones,” said Lesley Anderson, secretary at the Spilstead Hall. “We had lots of home-based businesses, which meant a lot of handmade crafts and goods.”
Some of the vendors displaying their wares included – Susan Francis of Party Lite; Sam Stefanizyn of Ivy and Violet Designs; Angel Matyachuk, who displayed magnetic jewellery; Bertha, who was selling quilts and cookies; Sandra Grefer, who had knitting and crocheting products; and Elesha Perry, who was selling her canning and preserving jars.
“This event has been going on for more than 40 years, and it was good to see a great turnout,” Anderson said. “Neighbours who have moved away returned for the annual event and new neighbours came for the first time, so it was a great time of visiting over light lunch and coffee, and everyone seemed to enjoy the environment.” . . . contd.
