Our "Windy Gardens" quilt tickets are now on sale. Approximately 40 volunteers began working on this quilt in January, creating 108 blocks. The ladies quilted two mornings per week for eight weeks, totalling 140 hours. This is the eighth year that we have had a quilt to raffle off, bringing in a profit of between $900 and $1,400 for the fair. To purchase or help sell tickets, contact Dianne Todd at 519-368-7114. A special "thank you" goes out to Katherine Gowing, Jane Kelley and the many women who worked on the quilt this year.
