Log Cabin Quilters members delivered 19 lap quilts and four couch quilts to Carefree Manor on May 26, specifically for residents’ use on their bus. The quilters also enjoyed coffee with the delighted residents.
Sadly, the Bridge Lake Stampede will not happen again this year. Generally held the Saturday closest to Canada Day, this is the third year running without the much-loved event, due to COVID and lack of volunteers. The last Stampede, in 2019, was the 70th.
Anyone who wishes to reserve a $5 outside space to sell goods at Bridge Lake Fair should call this writer. The fair is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 21 at Interlakes Community Centre, 7592 Hwy 24 (at East Sheridan Lake Road.) Vendors may set up from 8 a.m., and should be prepared for any weather!
Please also note that Bridge Lake Fair Entry booklets are available at Donex’s photography counter at the back of the store.
