We are just a day away from the 13th annual April Tools Wooden Boat Challenge.
This day long extravaganza on Saturday, April 26 has unlimited enjoyment for everyone. Yes there are the wild and wet boatbuilding races, but also food kiosks, mini boatbuilding, displays, activities and crafts for kids of all ages at Millennium Park. This amazing day is presented by the Pender Harbour Living Heritage Society with support of local businesses, community organizations and generous sponsors. Visit www.apriltools.ca for more information.
At 10 a.m. on Saturday, hit the Pender Harbour community hall when the doors open for the first Saturday market of the season. Muriel has been working overtime on this one. It will be a big one with a bake sale, a plant sale (including Wilma Thompson’s famous heirloom tomato plants) a craft sale and a flea market with unlimited treasures.
Don’t miss the special garden club event this Wednesday, April 30 at noon at the School of Music.
