You would have loved it.

She is...and so were the other contestants. Loic had come all the way from BC and Kathy from Alberta. Loic won that season of The Great Canadian Baking Show. They had a wonderful question and answer period and all were forthcoming with answers and lots of laughs. They clearly enjoyed each other's company. Then we headed upstairs in the library and they had treats for us. Unfortunately not as many as they had hoped as they were going to bake yesterday and there was a power outage here in town from about eleven until four in the afternoon. So we had a layer cake, mini Pavlovas with curd filling, and petit fours. All scrumptious. Lots of chatter afterwards. I managed to speak to three of the contestants. The others were chatting with other people and did not want to butt in. They seemed to be very happy to be here, treated as celebrities.

I already know one of the contestants as she lives in town. I think that this is provably her initiative as she gives back a lot to the community. I met her a number of years ago when she hosted an Art and Soul collective...she and a friend offered monthly craft classes hosted by various businesses and the money for the class(which was very inexpensive) went directly to a specific charity. The first one that I went to was a spring wreath...and the money went to a local hospice. They did a teacup planter...with little succulents and I did a paint class using coffee as the medium...that class was held at a local coffee shop and we learned how the baristas made the specialty coffees. COVID shut that program down...but they had an art auction for the local women's shelter and I was successful with winning bids on three pieces.
We should be sampling treats too this afternoon. The event is free and held at our library. I was lucky to snag two tickets as only forty tickets were available.
I think that your holiday sounds like hard work...but you will be glad to have that behind you. And oh your aching bod.

Thxs for spotting the Caterpillar :)
