A big thank you to Holland, Darren, Kevin, Lance and Tim who took an idea discussed at a neighbourhood meeting and just started working!

Miner’s Picnic Details

Pretty soon you’ll see the poster springing up around the neighbourhood!  It has the SCHEDULE for the day and a list of some of the events and activities.

We’ll also have our NEW (at least to us) Tea Wagon on display.  (We might even be doing some painting, but you will at least get to see some of the ideas we’re coming up with to turn into into a 4-wheeled work of art…:)

And we’re looking to outfit it for some summer community gatherings.  Do you have any extra plates (large or small), cutlery, and teacups/saucers that you would be willing to donate? or even a teapot?  If so, bring them along to the picnic and we will thank you profusely…!
