Noreen Venables (l) of Bayley's Bistro hands Shelley Redman, an activity worker at Forestview Place in Dr. Helmcken Memorial Hospital, a cheque for $372.
The money was raised during a guess-the-pumpkin's-weight contest in the coffee shop, with Bayley's matching the contributions by participants. Actual weight was 112 pounds, and winning entry was by Janet Mann, who guessed 112.7 pounds. She won a lunch for two at the Bistro.
The money will be used for the craft program at Forestview, while the pumpkin will be eaten by the residents at the extended care facility. Ray and Mark contributed the pumpkin.
