To the editor,
Our hearts are full of gratitude for the overwhelming support and enthusiasm for our first Seedy Saturday at the Nolalu Community Centre on April 6. Many thanks to everyone who promoted, participated in, donated to and attended the event.
The turnout was spectacular, and the parking lot was full!
It was lovely to see many folks bringing seeds and other gardening-related items to share or swap, hanging out to chat, getting some free stuff, asking questions, supporting local businesses and enjoying the refreshments. Next year, we will have MANY more butter tarts (Aunt Sarah's 588 Cafe Nolalu) and cookies.
There were lovely prizes and happy winners during the afternoon. Next year, I'll use a microphone. ;-) Thank you so much to our generous donors, vendors and information display participants. Your enthusiasm and passion are inspiring.
Together, we raised $340 for the Rural Cupboard Food Bank at the Seedy Saturday Nolalu.
A shout out to the amazing Nolalu Community Centre Board for your support and offers to help before and during the event. You rock!
Heartfelt thanks and hugs to my best friend, assistant, farmhand and husband, Brad, "The Coffee Making Dude" who always supports my never-ending stream of ideas.
Cheers, friends.
