Jigsaw Puzzle Competition Success!
15 teams of 4 players each participated in the first ever Jigsaw Puzzle Competition hosted by the Richer Community Club at the Richer Young at Hearts Hall on Saturday. Teams ranged from families, couples and friends, with a variety of ages from youth to seniors. Only 8 minutes separated the top three teams… First place - Julie’s Team (Julie, Suzanne, Rachelle and Denise) - 1 hr 55 min Second place - Piece Keepers (Guylene, Tiffany, Jen and Jordyn) - 2 hr 2 min Third place - Oh So Puzzled (Natalie, Danielle, Madelaine, Celeste) - 2 hr 3 min
Even though the prize spots were already won, most teams followed through to complete their puzzles to get a record of their times. Thanks to all the participants to make this unique
event a success! And thanks to Marla’s Puzzles for coming on board to add to the excitement! The event was able to be held thanks to some wonderful sponsors… Merck, Zoetis, Winkler Meats, Marla’s Puzzle Pantry, S Brumwell, Richer Recreation Committee, Ste Anne Tax Service, Jon’s Deck Aid & More, the Dawson Trail Dispatch and Sobeys. All funds raised go towards the endowment fund created for the Brent Wery Memorial Fund Bursary. Team registration raised $1,500. A contribution was made from Marla’s Puzzles of $350 sharing in her puzzle sales she held during the competition. Additional cash donations from the event and sponsors raised another $426. A total of $2,246! A big thanks to the Wery family who were “all hands on board” to pull this event together and ensure it ran smoothly, and participants had fun!
