Quilt and rug fair viewer's choice winners named

The Simcoe County Quilt, Rug and Craft Fair 2008 was held at the Simcoe County Museum recently.

Every year, visitors are invited to view the displays of quilts, wall-hangings and clothing items produced by quilters from across the county. Visitors were asked to vote on their favourite item in select categories. The winners of the Viewer's Choice awards for 2008 were Jeanne Wallace for quilting, Rose Currie for wall hanging, and Nancy Trott for clothing.

The Simcoe County, Kempenfelt, Georgian Bay, Orillia, Slope to Shore and Quilting Corners Quilters' Guilds wish to thank everyone who voted in this year's competition.

The museum is located at 1151 Highway 26, minutes north of Barrie. The fair takes place on the third weekend in September every year. For more information, call the museum at 728-3721.
