EXHIBITION HALL was a flurry of activity all weekend. Many came to play Bingo, try their hand at quilting or Make & Take. Many just strolled through to view the various exhibits on display. The Sarnia Lambton Hook Crafter’s Guild, the Triple “C” Carvers demonstrated some very unique and interesting work. Donna Schultz worked on some Sweedish Weaving and Carol Searson on her knitting machine.

We had a particularly delightful display titled “Made with Love by Grandma”. It consisted of a collection of articles from member’s homes, dating back many generations, expertly assembled under the capable guidance of Sharyl Turner and Olga Woods.

We had the pleasure of exhibiting outstanding art work of grade three students from Lambton Kent schools who submitted entries in a contest promoted by our Club. The theme was our show’s theme ‘Then and Now’. Winners received a very lucrative award presented by our president, Mark Clemens’ family in memory of their deceased father John Clemens.

Our very own members modeled clothes from GOLDCOAST FASHIONS OF PETROLIA on Saturday and Sunday to the delight of many.

Quilting was highlighted this year. Expert quilter, Florence Elliott and her daughter, Sharon Butt shared their family heirlooms at a “Trunk Show” presentation on Friday and Saturday. They also provided guidance to the amateurs who sat and stitched on a baby quilt set up for this purpose all weekend.

On Sunday, Darcy Gray of Gray’s Flowers of Petrolia, demonstrated the art of floral arranging to a very captive and interested audience.

As you can see, there were a wide array and variety of activities for young and old, male and female
