First Market Place at the Museum a success

Market museum – The first Market Place at the Museum event was held at the Wellington County Museum and Archives on Dec. 9 and 10 to a huge success. Over 1,200 people attended the first day which was “overwhelmingly successful” said Kyle Smith, program director. Many people attended from out of the area. It was a great way to purchase Christmas gifts from local crafters, for children as well as adults. Besides buying gifts there was a workshop for youngsters as well as horse-drawn wagon rides.

Sweet treats – Mouth-watering cookies and sweets provided by Frannies attracted young and old alike at the market event. Here, Rowan Smith from Guelph looks over cookies to take home with him.
