Heritage with a loom weaving demonstration by Bruce Thomson, Nashwaak Watershed, St. Mary’s Ferry Landing, “the Little Stone Church” (St. John the Evangelist) and the Fredericton Police Force. Our visitors seemed to stroll at their leisure, leaving with many positive comments. We had some wonderful door prizes thanks to Devon Lumber, Peller Family Estates, Tim Horton’s, George A Crawford and the FNHA (Bob McNeil). A starter painting kit (donor unknown) was another welcome prize. Although the kitchen was not fully functional, the Kinsmen (Buddy) ensured much appreciated refreshments. All and all it was a great day!
