where raffle tickets for the Bonners
Ferry Community Quilt were offered. The
winniing name will be drawn at the end
of the third annual Community Quilt show
October 14. |
The third-annual Bonners Ferry Non-Judged
Community Quilt
Show will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Saturday, October 14, at the Boundary County
Fairgrounds. There'll be door prizes, quilt
sales, vendors, demos and to add icing to the
cake, the winner of the beautiful community
quilt will be drawn!
This is the chance for all Boundary County
quilters to share their love of the art!
The community quilt, a true masterpiece, was
created from blocks donated by quilters
community wide, and it was quilted by Teresa
Rives. Over 60 hours went into its creation, and
someone is going to take it home! Tickets are $1
each or six for $5.
Admission to the show is $3 per person, and
proceeds benefit improvements at the Boundary
County Fairgrounds. Anyone who would like to
share a quilt for display or to sell a quilt can
pick up an entry form at any of the four quilt
shops in town. All the information you need is
on the form.
Humanitarian quilts will be displayed and
donated to the quilters' choice of organizations
which include the Boundary Community Hospital
Extended Care Wing, Hospice, Hope House, Quilts
Beyond Borders, NAMI and local veterans.
Anyone interested in volunteering can contact
any one listed on the entry form. To learn more,
call organizer Carol Jean Hubbard at (208)
255-6980 or email
bcfair@boundarycountyid.org. |
