Once again, Community Christian School (CCS) is hosting its Garden Party Bazaar and Auction on April 23 at the PMD Arena Complex. Doors open from 9:30am to 3pm.
As the community was so generous with their “Food Bank” donations at the school’s previous bazaar, CCS will once again accept a food item and/or a freewill offering to CCS as an “admission fee.” Those 18 and over will receive a ballot for door prize draws.
“Bubble soccer” games will be from 1 to 3pm in the games section, with each game running for 15 minutes. Everyone is welcome to try the sport out or cheer a team on. While in the area, visitors can stop by and check out the exotic animals on display.
Home-baked pies, cookies, loaves and special treats, including Dutch baking, will be available.
The centre table will include a variety of indoor and outdoor options, including floral arrangements, wooden and metal items and sewing.
A lasagna supper will be held from 5 to 7pm. The meal includes a roll, caesar salad and cake for dessert.
If you cannot stay for dinner, pre-order your meal for “take out”. Pick up is from 4 to 4:30pm. Contact CCS or order at the kitchen during the day. Boxed croquettes will be available for purchase from the kitchen.
The silent auction will run all day but will close at various times throughout the day and evening so everyone has a chance to get a winning bid. After supper, stay for the live auction beginning at 7pm until all items are sold around 11pm.
Auctioneers Jason Heimpel and Graham Jackson will keep the evening running smoothly. Toronto Blue Jays tickets will be a hot item. Another sought after item will be a week long stay for a child in grade 4 to 9 at Camp Shalom. Weeks available include July 10 to 15, July 24 to 29, Aug. 7 to 12 and Aug. 14-19. Check out www.ontariochristiancamp.ca for more details.
New this year is a week long stay (date of your choice) at Camp Mini-Yo-We, for a child aged 5 to 18. This is a Christian overnight or day camp in Muskoka. They have various activities on offer. For more information see the website at www.miniyowe.com
