Beginning of Pumpkin Day

sensationalelora — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 18:31:41 +0000

To celebrate Environmental Week and promote local agricultural growth, Sensational Elora is going to local schools throughout Centre Wellington County and handing out pumpkin seeds for students to grow in their own backyards. There are many different types of pumpkins distributed so that students can have a wonderful surprise as to what kind of pumpkin theirs will be. Also, to keep parents informed on how to take care of the pumpkins, Sensational Elora will be sending out information in the monthly school newsletters. This is all done to promote Pumpkin Day, a fabulous pumpkin-filled day that’s free for the entire family. If you would like to plant your own pumpkin patch or you know someone who would just give us a call at 519-845-5638 and we will be happy to send some seeds your way.

Make Your Own Bowls Project Event

sensationalelora — Thu, 07 Apr 2011 16:39:43 +0000

Come and play with some clay and get creative as you learn from some of the best potters in the Centre Wellington area! Make as many bowls as you like, choose one to take home with you, and the rest will be donated to the Elora Empty Bowls Project as soup bowls to be filled with delicious soups made by local restaurants. Proceeds from the project will go to local hunger-fighting organizations.

The fee is $30 and classes run two consecutive weekends. The first week you will learn basic pottery techniques and work with the clay to make your bowls. The next week you will learn how to finish and to glaze your own bowls. Last year the project raised over $17 500 for the Centre Wellington Food Bank, and helped establish a Breakfast Program at a local high school. We’re hoping to top that in 2011!

Dates are April 30th & 7th, and again on May 28th and June 4th, all of which are located at

Elora Centre for the Arts

75 Melville St.

Elora, ON
