JORGIA KITCHER FROM GLEN ORCHARD, MUSKOKA,
IS OUR 2018-2019 CRAN-ANNE LOOK-ALIKE WINNER
What
a great colour combination in this photo of 7-year-old
Jorgia Kitcher, taken in October, 2018, as this feisty
charmer from Glen Orchard (north of Bala) won our Cran-Anne
Look-Alike contest. Her beautiful dress fitted right in
with the vivid autumn colours of that month and also with
the Bala Cranberry Festival that was happening that same
weekend. The doll was donated by our long-time friend
George Campbell who owns the Anne of Green Gables Family
Museum at Park Corner, P.E.I. No one was prouder of Jorgia
than her mother, Jody Gillis, who couldn't resist getting
her own photo of her daughter in front of the museum.
We did not have a Cran-Anne contest in October, 2019,
because of a family commitment, so Jorgia was our Cran-Anne
queen for both 2018 and 2019. We are so proud of Jorgia!
With
regret, we are announcing the cancellation of this year's
Cran-Anne Look-Alike contest which was scheduled for Saturday,
October 17th, midway through this fall's Bala Cranberry
Festival.
Organizers for this year's Bala Cranberry Festival announced
"with a heavy heart" on August 4th that this
year's festival has been cancelled for the weekend of
Oct. 16-18. They said it was because of Covid 19 health
and safety concerns for the thousands who would have come
to the event and the vendors and volunteers who make the
festival possible.
Their decision means that the Cran-Anne Look-Alike event
will not be happening on Saturday, Oct. 17th, as planned.
We too do not want to risk the health of our young contestants
as well as the families and friends who accompany them.
We are currently considering creative alternatives to
take the place of this event and would welcome any suggestions
that you may have. Share them with Jack and Linda through
the museum's e-mail (balamus@muskoka.com)
or call Jack or Linda at 705-762-5876 or toll-free 1-888-579-7739.
