Best Slugfest Ever!
We had a G R E A T turn out for the Community Garden's 7th Annual Slugfest. Volunteer Michelle took a count about midway and best estimate is that there were 65 visitors to the garden. We ran out of lemonade (stinkin hot!) but everyone got a fruit kebab or a slice of watermelon. Thanks to Kim for purchasing the fruit and finding the best strawberries in all of Nanaimo and to Silvie, Slicer of Fruit.
But more important, the Grand Slug Hunter 2018 is Silas - who found 22 slugs. Silas' brother Elijah came in second with 21 slugs, and brothers Carter & Kessler tied for third, with 16 slugs each. Slug Master Juanita tallied the slugs, read some slug stories to the children, and also brought along Dudley the Duck for show and tell. Thank you Juanita - you kindness abounds. Many thanks to Janet Kirsop who hand crafted Norman, the Grand Prize Slug.
Kudos to Jim, who built some sweet birdhouses for the kids to paint. Gabe's colour combo was just excellent and Karma's wee birdfeeder was another work of art, among many.
Lynda did a wonderful job making sure everything was set up and organized. Thanks to Kim for lending her voice to address the crowd and to member volunteers Maureen, Michelle & Silvie who helped set up, take down and clean up. Jim and Sarah F. also lent a hand with the tents, always appreciated, what a terrific community!

We had a picture perfect night at the Community Garden for the Second Annual Solstice Potluck. Members and guests had their fill of desserts (thankyou to the St.Denis family for bringing a non-dessert dish!). Rita delivered a lovely garden blessing and we are all thankful for the exceptional space we have created.
