Annual Spilstead Bazaar & Auction bring community together
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.
