We had our first ever Summer display contest.
| First Place entry “Aldeburgh Music Box Shop” Helen made a grass base using oregano and dill. The pathway to the front door is marked by pedestal columns and green hedges. She also added white birch trees, white picket fences and gate, an Easter bench and a few figurines. |  |
| Second Place entry “Rosita’s Cantina” Tammy created a warm Southwest theme by surrounding the Rosita’s with palm trees, desert rocks, miniature pots of cactuses and flowers and a few figurines. A placemat with a desert look was propped up as the backdrop. |  |
| “Verna Mae’s” was featured sitting on top of a blue and white striped shirt box. Tammy added a Summer tree and flowers with some Summer figurines. |  |
| “Gone With The Wind” Lucy did a terrific job creating a Summer scene with Scarlett and Melanie (a Royal Doulton figurine) in front of the Tara Plantation house. Benches and chairs from Seasons Bay fit perfectly. |  |
| “Tipplers” John set out a festive Summer dinner tray featuring the Tipplers Wine & Spirits building surrounded by an unusual shaped wine bottles and wine glasses. |  |
| “Gads Hill Chalet” Darlene created a Summer scene with Gads Hill Chalet using lots of flowers and hedges that she made by using parts of candle rings. She also added miniature tables and chairs to enhance the display. |  |
| “Inglenook Cottage” Cherie’s display used a seaside themed box as the backdrop and a clear plastic tray for a base. She used green grass roll over Styrofoam and added stone walls, sand, seagulls, boats, seashells (buttons) and water (blue scrap booking paper). |  |
| “Year Round House” Gail created a beach scene using a building that comes with summer decorations. Her daughter made the lighthouse from a kit they found in PEI. They added rocks, sand, boats and a Canadian flag to complete the display. |  |
