Joyce Burghardt and Karen Blinn, Market Day 2010
Saturday, July 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Come one, come all to Market Day!
To celebrate another year of Market Day at Emmanuel Episcopal in Eastsound, David Gutteridge, our poet laureate, has penned:
Across all Orcas let this news resound:
Episcopalians are preparing
For fun at Emmanuel in Eastsound.
Your done-with treasures you may kindly bring
For every kind of rummage they’ll array,
Chairs,rods, nets,books,a shiny glinting ring.
July the twenty-eighth is Market Day
They’ll offer you delicious home-baked fare
Washed down with tea-for-free to make you stay
So come and spend what dollars you can spare
Walk labyrinthine paths, buy something new,
From ten til two eat hot dogs in fresh air ~
On Market Day there’s lots for you to do:
The church on Main Street, number 242.
Every year, this event produces an amazing collection of treasures, jewelry, books, and, sometimes, fishing gear, as well as baked goods. Joyce Burghardt will be one of the ladies pouring tea.
If you would like to contribute any used treasures, Marguerite Olson will be receiving them in the old parish hall (the one attached to the church) on Tuesdays from 11 am to 2 pm. As ever, all proceeds go to support local good works.
