Perry said the group is also thinking about providing day care services, educational workshops and computer training.see avante, page 6 Happy birthday x 2 CAROLINE KEHNE/CORRESPONDENT Betty Hayes presented a cake in the shape of a guitar to husband Ronnie during the sixth anniversary festivities of the Stanbridge East Coffee House, which Ronnie runs.For the story, see page 5.25 antique dealers to gather in Knowlton Staff Knowlton In the market for some antique jewellery, china or books?Head down to Knowlton Oct.17 for the ninth annual Antique Show and Sale.The sale, which runs all weekend, also features furniture, glassware and prints from across Eastern Canada and Europe.About 25 antique dealers will be displaying their wares at the sale, which kicks off Friday, Oct.17, with an opening gala.Those who attend the gala will have a firsthand look at the antiques available.Food will be supplied by local restaurants and cafes.Admission to the opening gala is $25.The show will be held Saturday, Oct.18, from 10 a.m.to 6 p.m., and Sunday, Oct.19 from 11 a.m.to 5 p.m.Admission is $5 for adults.Children under 12 are admitted free.There is no charge for parking.The antique show coincides with the second annual International Brome Lake Duck Festival.Seventeen restaurants will be hosting special events for the festival, including some from Louisiana.The Brome Lake Racquet Club is located at 584 Knowlton Road.For more information, contact the show’s web site at: www.cclacbrome.qc.ca/antiques.243-0000 N/J j Res.Fax 242-2233 /Th j^, l yl And now, Rebel y Communications 10% discount lor Seniors CallTJow!
