I remember seeing this one advertised in a Mun. of Lunenburg mailout that listed upcoming community events. I'm glad we got advance warning, because this is not one we like to miss.
The hall was sparsely laid out, with only ~10 tables spread throughout the almost cavernous hall. We lucked out and got a table that was actually lit well (photog in me was probably drawn to the light). The table was decked out in all of the Fire Dept.'s finery, tea cups and saucers, little plates, a bowl of bread and butter pickles and the other usual condiments. In no time at all, we were presented with the sandwiches, and took one of each kind:
Another server gave us each a plate with coleslaw, potato salad, cheese and ham. Pretty much a perfect lunch. We nibbled on the tiny sammies, kept drinking tea, more sammies, more tea. The next thing I knew the sweets had arrived:
Coffee cake, brownies, nanaimo bars, lemon loaf, toffee/coconut squares, some dark choco-concoction, there wasn't a bad one in the bunch that I had. Somehow I was able to only eat one napkin-serving os desserts.
The post-church rush started to pick up, so we downed yet another cup of tea and sped away.
You know, I kind of feel bad for people who miss out on these, who knows how many hungry people drove right past all these goodies this afternoon? Pity.
