The Heritage Museum sold much of the donated items last Saturday, however there a few things left. Lorna and Doris will be at the museum Wednesdays from 10 to 2 and will sell the remaining items. The barbeque was popular, more people seemed interested in eating than shopping. Museum staff are pleased with the community response. They have recently received a grant, with this and the sale, they are on the way to a new roof. More fundraisers will be coming up to finish the job.
