206 shoppers waiting for doors to open at fair

Saturday’s St Cuthbert’s Anglican Church Spring Fair drew its usual good crowd with some 206 people waiting outside the doors to Lamb Hall to get the best choice. Rev. Beth Benson greeted each personally. Business was brisk throughout the tables and on the green there were plenty of takers for the BBQ and jambalaya. Sportplay, one of the church’s tenants, had activities for the kids and the weather held. Josh Matlow (Ward 22) attended with his family. Money raised at the fair is donated in part to about ten charities which include the Flemingdon Food Bank, East York YMCA Women’s Shelter and Moorelands Camp. St. Cuthbert’s also provides space for groups like the Girl Guides, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers who meet at the church. Proceeds also go to support the church itself. Some other events set for this season are the church picnic on the green on June 22 after the 10 a.m. service and Summer day camp July 21- 25 for campers ages 4-12.
