Lots of dew and fog this Saturday but that didn’t prevent us from getting set up and ready to enjoy a beautiful summery September day at our outdoor market.
Our canteen volunteers were not available this weekend so Anne Canney baked rhubarb muffins, donut muffins and cinnamon bread to go with our free coffee and tea. Thanks so much Anne for doing all this on a busy Harvest Jazz & Blues weekend. Thank you to Isaac Gilbert who entertained us under the big market tent. It sounded wonderful Isaac and you are always welcome to come and join us again. Alida Moran donated a lovely autumn print table runner, two mug mats and two matching mugs. This wonderful prize was won by Amey Hickey. Congrats Amey! Another highlight of the day was drawing lucky number 42 from the bag of 100 numbers that would tell us who the lucky person is that won the $100.00 from the Market Lotto board. Congratulations to Ethel Wall. We are all so happy for you! We are happy to have Martha Ryan back with us with all her wonderful knitting including minions and sock monkey’s. Members of the Taymouth United Church joined us to sell their fundraising calendars for their 100 year anniversary celebrations coming up in 2018. The calendars contain many black and white photos of life in Taymouth in the last 100 years. We are so thrilled that so many people came out to say hello and enjoy the market with us. It was a really great turnout. Next market is September 23rd from 9:00 am to 12:30 pam. We are here every week now until December 9th.

Well, last Saturday was once again an indoor market. Really hoping we will be able to get outside again before the colder weather comes.
It was the first of our weekly markets leading up to the Christmas season. It was great to see local vegetables being sold again. Don't you just love this time of year! Wonderful pulled chicken sandwiches were being sold in the canteen. The music was amazing yet again. There is so much talent in the community and it is so kind of these musicians, who take their time to share that talent with us each and every week. The market dollars were won this week by Linda Stewart. The raffle prize of a lovely cheeseboard kindly donated by Suellen Ross was won by Mae Bertt. Congratulations Ladies. So, please don't forget to join us again, this Saturday. Support your local community centre! Sorry to all that this is so late in coming. Sometimes the weeks are just crazy and this has been one of them!
August 12th was yet another indoor market due to the rain. We don't seem to have had many outdoor markets at all this year! Maybe the sun will shine on us in September instead! The rain, however, didn't dampen the spirit. Our usual vendors were on form with a vast array of goodies for everyone! Stuart and June Douglass had a wonderful handcrafted wooden chair. I didn't even manage to get a photograph of it as it had sold within a few minutes of the market opening. The music was great. A huge thank you to Isaac Gilbert and Joele Wonitoway Gilbert for their marvelous singing and music which brought a smile to many faces. What wonderful talent we have on our doorsteps! Congratulations to Craig Hickey who won the raffle which was some lottery tickets and bodycare products. Also, to Ruth Doiron who won this weeks market dollars. Don't forget to join us this Saturday for the next TAYMOUTH market. At the moment the forecast is looking good so why not come out and join us! Bring family and friends and have fun!
