Carolyn and Joan have every reason to look happy. They sold more of our famous rum cake than ever before at the five days of Christmas at Presqu'ile.

All of our hard working elves did similar as almost 4000 people came through the Christmas house and purchased the wonderful products from our 130 Canadian artisans. With good weather, the event was an all around great success and will help fund our educational programmes through 2012, thank you shoppers.

Visitors came from far and wide: Vancouver, the Yukon, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia to name a few. Wow the word is getting out there.
