Interested in a good dessert? Look no further than the deliciously decadent diversity of desserts found at the St Lawrence County Historical Association's 21st annual Antique and Artisan Show and Sale on Saturday, April 30th from 10 am to 4 pm. The show will be held at Canton's McKenney Middle School, 99 State Street, and is generously sponsored by Blanchard's Auction Services, Potsdam and Mort Backus and Sons, Ogdensburg. The great desserts are part of a gourmet luncheon served at the show.
The fantastic luncheon at the Antique and Artisan Show will be served in the middle school cafeteria. But don't worry; this is no ordinary school lunch. Under the masterly supervision of Paula Niles, a true culinary treat for your taste buds consisting of soup and sandwiches will be served to you by our energetic volunteer waitresses. Naturally lunch will be followed with your choice from the wonderful world of desserts, and you can even start with dessert first (we won't tell your mom)!
Vendors from St Lawrence, Franklin, Lewis, Jefferson and Essex Counties will have a wide variety of beautiful, interesting and unique items on hand that you surely cannot live without! The show opens at 10 am on Saturday, April 30th and runs until 4 pm. There is ample free parking at the school.
For a modest donation of $3 you can peruse the wares of antique dealers and artisans, bid at the fun and fabulous silent auction, purchase a tasty gourmet luncheon with dessert and enter the quilt raffle for Stars From Plaids Forever. You do not need to be present to win the quilt raffle. One year the winning quilt raffle ticket was purchased the day of the show!
Visit the SLCHA Gift Shop for tasty treats to create from recipe books like Landmarks and Lemon Crackers, The New Preserves: Pickles, Jams and Jellies, and delicious sounding books of poetry by Jim Todd such as Chocolate Cake and Mustard and Prunes and Apple Pie.
