Evangeline region seniors encouraged to enter knitting contest

WELLINGTON, P.E.I. – Seniors in the Evangeline and surrounding areas are invited to prepare and submit knitted children’s crafts to a 2022 Co-op Week contest.

Residents of Le Cheznous community care centre and Le Bel âge complex can prepare and submit knitted children's crafts as part of the contest.

Participants are asked to attach a piece of paper with their name, address and phone number to their craft.

All creations must be brought to the Wellington Co-op by Oct. 17. They will also be put on public display until Oct. 21.

The contest’s co-op and economic development partners will then make random draws for various gifts, including major prizes, among the participants of the contest.

Following the draw, the crafts will be donated to the Summerside Salvation Army to distribute to children from families in need during the fall/winter season and Christmas time.
