GRACE COTTAGE AUXILIARY

Ned Phoenix joins The Bills Band (that’s Alan Bills blowing his own horn!) at Super Supper 2006.

Alexandra Booth isn’t sure about having her photo taken at Super Supper.

What a delight to see so many folks attend our annual Super Supper! The NewBrook Fire Department building was packed to capacity with smiling faces, hearty appetites and much laughter. This mid-winter event grows every year, with returnees and newcomers alike. We’d like to thank all of the musicians of The Bills Band and guest fiddler, Ned Phoenix, for an evening of jokes and foot-tapping music. There was an abundance of great food, and many prizes. A special thanks to my fellow officers for making this a successful event.

The Auxiliary will have a booth at the Wardsboro Fourth of July Parade and Street Fair, where our 2006 Hospital Fair Day T-shirts, hats, and raffle tickets will be sold.

A special thanks to all for an outstanding response to our recent Auxiliary Membership drive. Your loyal support and generosity are very much appreciated.

Barb Barber, VP/Membership Chair

On Saturday, August 5th the 56th annual Grace Cottage Fair Day will take place on the Common in Townshend. The Fair Committee is steeped in planning for this year’s event. The Common will be filled with the booths and events that have pleased fairgoers in the past.

We’re working to provide carriage rides for Fairgoers this year. Thanks to Bob Labrie of Townshend, a pair of handsome black Friesian horses drawing a fancy carriage will take people for 20-minute rides up Route 35.

Also, this year the Art Show will be expanded. We are asking artists to donate art work to the auction. The donated art work will be displayed in the Church on the Common and presented at the auction at 1 p.m. The artists may set a reserve on donated work, and exceptional donations may be taken to auction in Boston.

New volunteers can always be incorporated in Fair Day activities. If you’re interested in helping, please call (365-4455) or e-mail (spenholt@svcable.net) me.

Stanley Holt, President
