Community Christian School’s 2014 County Fair Bazaar and Auction will be on Oct. 18 at the PMD Arena Complex here.
The school has been holding the event for the last 34 years, alternating spring and fall every other year. Doors will be open from 9:30am to 3pm.
This year organizers are aiming to replenish the shelves at the Drayton Food Bank by offering the option of the choice of “a food donation to the food bank and/or a freewill offering to CCS”, as an entry fee. All entrants receive a door prize ticket. From 3 to 5pm a “Family Skate” will be offered in the arena for $2 a skater.
The baking table will offer a variety of fall flavours to choose from. The centre table provides many options to help get Christmas shopping started. Youngsters can choose from a variety of themed games to keep them busy.
A pumpkin carving/decorating event will also be part of the fun (creations in by 12pm for judging to begin at 12:30pm). It will cost $2 a pumpkin and entries will be judged in age groups and other categories.
An old fashioned “cake walk” will be on the schedule as well.
A smoked pork chop dinner including roasted potatoes, salad and dessert will run from 5 to 7pm. Anyone wishing to pre-order meals for “take out” should contact the school.
A variety of silent auction items will be offered throughout the day and a live auction concludes the day beginning at 7pm. Auctioneers Doug Gilmore and Terry Cormack will be keeping the evening running smoothly. Auction items include tickets to see the Toronto Maple Leafs take on the Pittsburgh Penguins (and the newly-acquired Nick Spaling) on Nov 14. Also offered will be Kitchener Rangers tickets, golfing, paintballing, camping, museums and zoos, housecleaning and homemade meals, homemade child’s wooden motorcycle rocker and toy tractors.
