Mundare Christmas Extravaganza BY MARK COURTNAGE The Recreational Centre in Mundare was buzzing with people at their annual Christmas bake and Craft Sale on Saturday. Filled with the smell of freshly baked goods and some amazing art and crafts, the atmosphere was incredible with a lot of smiling faces walking out the door with some great produce. Local artist Esteban Lachapelle was showing his beautifully painted chopping boards and other items. Only living in Mundare for a year, this was his first time at the craft sale. Stephanie Marshall, an artist from Vegreville was also new to the craft show and was showing her Christmas table decorations. Claire Lucas, a local person, was showing her wooden creations. Claire uses recycled and old scraps of wood to build toys, games, cutting boards, trinket boxes and and so much more. If you wanted to sit down for a coffee or cake, or a hot meal, there was a concession on site. Outside, horse sleigh rides were available and father Christmas was at the town centre waiting to have his picture taken with the local children. All in all, a good time was had by everyone at Mundare’s Christmas Extravaganza.
