Saint Patrick's 

Our Seventh Annual St. Patrick’s Antique and Classic Car Show was once again a success!  The weather was perfect and a profit of $7065 was raised for St. Patrick’s Church.  Many thanks need to be given to our sponsors and those who so generously supported our event with donations to cover the cost of trophies and expenses, prizes for the raffle, food for our concession stand and grill, fryer, sound system, coolers, tents, etc.  Many thanks to George Legnard, Faith Lamberton and Jeff Aubrey who organized the event from beginning to end as well as soliciting sponsors, prizes and donations for the concession stand.  Many thanks to all the volunteers who helped at the event: the workers who registered and placed the cars, the concession stand cooks and workers, the U-Pick raffle workers, set up and clean up workers, Jeff Aubrey and Claude Dessureault for selling the 50/50 tickets and Arsene Letourneau for making the announcements.  Thank you to Calvin Castine for taking a video for Hometown Cable. Thanks to all those who brought their cars to our event - without them we would not have had a car show!  Finally, thanks to all those who attended the event and purchased food and raffle tickets to help support St. Patrick’s.  We are very grateful.  Pictures from the car show are available for viewing under the  Bulletins & Events tab - Photo Albums.

Our Sixth St. Patrick’s Summer Craft Show was also held this past weekend and it too was successful.  There were ten vendors and raised a total of $360 for St. Patrick’s.  Many thanks to our vendors for participating and to those who came to support them.
