Today we helped at the Christmas Extravaganza. Where every ones hard work and effort making the crafts and things to sell is paid off. The hand made items were of such high quality. There were some beautiful items on display.
The event is held over two days, Friday and Saturday, and is held in the lovely home of a local
resident. The house overlooks the Parksville bay.
Checkout Girls!Because of our banking experience we were put on checkout duty!! Our cover was blown almost immediately when we dealt with our first customer. We were unable to identify any of the coinage without really peering at it. We learnt new terms for Canadian coins such as Twonies (2dollars) Loonies (1dollar) dimes (10cents) and quarters(25cents). We did eventually pick it up, Della stuck to the wrapping and left Tracy to work out the money!
We helped on the Saturday afternoon, it was very well supported and people spent a great deal for the good cause. There was a choir singing on the balcony above which was a great introduction to
the festive season.

Everyone involved had put a great deal of effort into the planning and running of the annual event and the event raised over $10,000.
