Today is Canadian Thanksgiving, a day in which we take stock of all the things we're thankful for. I'm not too much into traditional holidays, but I can get behind this one. I am so grateful for the abundance of love and laughter that was on display this weekend at our annual Scarecrow Festival.
Families from far and wide came together to make their own scarecrows... and there were some very unique creations!
Proceeds from this year's festival are going to Puppets Without Borders, bringing puppetry and art to kids in Cambodia.
This is our fourth year hosting the Scarecrow Festival, and it is always a ton of fun.
Little-known fact: scarecrows make great travel companions!
We are grateful to our volunteers who helped us out this weekend: Terry Veevers, Debra Tindale, and Brie Kaduc-Stojsic (pictured below, right).
We are deeply thankful for our sponsors, who have supported this festival year after year: Picton Home Hardware, George Emlaw, and City Revival. We couldn't do it without you!
Special thanks to Sandra Sharpe (nee Clarke) who brought her two granddaughters to the festival. Sandra grew up in our house, which was in their family for more than 80 years. Sandra showed the girls around the house, telling them stories from her time here. We are thankful to have this special relationship with the Clarke family.
Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you to everyone who made this weekend such a tremendous success.
