Tailgate!

We held a tailgate party in Cobourg today - we normally gather at this time of year to celebrate the season and exchange small gifts, and eat, eat, eat....but due to Covid, we opted for a tailgate party that would allow us to congregate in a socially responsible way.  All of this was the brainchild of our own Christine!

There were about 20 of us, at the Frink.  The weather was somewhat cooperative - no snow or rain, but some sunshine would have been lovely.  We got to meet up with old friends, and new!  (Welcome to the folks just joining our group!)






Karen Kaiser joined us with wool and other goodies for sale.  She also had 2 free patterns she brought along to share - check your emails!







There were lots of cookies, and caramel corn, along with thermoses of hot chocolate, tea, apple juice, all served via the trunk of Christine’s and Bonnie’s cars.


Some of us haven’t seen each other since February, so there was lots to show and tell about.













And then there was the gift exchange.  We encouraged folks to make and/or bring something small, and there were lots of different items!  There was felting, embroidery, jewellery making, crochet, knitting, and even some hooking!












Tanya even got one of the guys working on the rink to come over and take our photo!

Maybe we’ll do this again?!?

A HUGE thank you to Christine for mobilizing us on this extravaganza!
