St. Mark's Helping Hands Flea Market

The Flea Market held at St. Mark's Church Hall on Saturday, September 30 was a success and earned over $500. A cheque for $100 was immediately turned over to the treasurer of Inverness County Welcomes to help support our refugee family from Sierra Leone who will arrive tomorrow.

These photos show the group setting up and preparing for the sale. One man's trash is another's treasure! Besides Helping Hands, the Point Tupper Heritage Association and private individuals had tables with goods to sell. By 11 a.m. when the admission ceased to be collected at the door, over 125 folks had entered the hall in search of bargains. Towards the end of the sale, people were given grocery bags and were told that they could fill them for $1.00 each.
