Set up
Many hands contributed to setting up the show the evening before the show opened. The Senior Center transformed into a beautiful setting for this biennial show.
Honoring Deceased Guild Members
Unfortunately, our guild lost four active and former members since our last show. We honored the memory of Dottie Macomber, Sally Nimblett, Pam Strout, and Ruth Ruggieri with a display.
Cafe
Baked goods that members made were offered for sale to guests along with beverages. Left over baked goods were donated to a local food bank.
Penny Baskets
Members assembled more than 20 raffle baskets. Themes varied from lotto tickets to fabric to notions to food. The video shows the baskets up close.
