The first trade show by the Cosmo Seniors Centre since the pandemic started overflowed the building with booths.
“I guess that’s what happens when you don’t have one for two years,’’ commented Cosmo president Bill Smith.
Visiting occurred everywhere. People hadn’t seen each other for two years.
All sorts of items were on the vendors’ tables from baking and embroidery to wearables.
“Everything here is re-used,” said senior Clarice Palsich of her table. The table featured CDs converted into decorations and tissue boxes made into wall hangings.
Nearby Tim Knittig of Simcoe Draperies was selling copies of his book on the sinking of the Titanic 110 years ago.
His book revives a theory about sinking of the unsinkable passenger vessel, claiming the whole event was an insurance fraud.
His research while building a model of the ship convinced him that JP Morgan, the owner, substituted another damaged ship for the Titanic.
The objective was to collect $10 million insurance, but the1912 sinking went awry, drowning 2,223 passengers.
The concession had the usual great pie: lemon meringue, coconut, apple or blueberry.
