Held at the RAMADA by Wyndham, Lindsay, Ontario
| Friday night we had a contest for those who wanted to participate. Each person was given a bag of scrap leather and they had to make something with it in a certain time limit.
Items where then numbers and all the people attending voted on the one they liked best. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd place got Tim Horton Gift Cards. |

| Saturday morning we held our Annual Meeting, had a coffee break and then began our first workshop, making a belt. We could either do a buckle or a ring style.
We then had an enjoyable lunch from our local Bakery. After lunch we did shaving cream dying on a pouch for your belt and on a leather apron. A picture of the apron and the pouches is shown below. We then had draws for the White Elephant Table. Saturday evening we enjoyed a delicious supper at Castle John’s Restaurant which is attached to the Hotel. |
The two types of belts, pouches that were dyed using the saving cream method and the dog collar and led. |

| We then went back to our meeting room and awards where handed out.
Lois Found from the Norland Guild then introduced our guest speaker Jean Abernethy who builds saddles and is also the Author of 5 books on Fergus the Horse. Sunday morning we made a braided dog collar and braided lead. Because we were so late Saturday night we did the President Draws on Sunday Morning. |
