There were also auction items up for bid and a performance from the Black Water Trio.

More than 40 local food and drink vendors were there to volunteer their time, talent and tasty treats to support St. Joe’s long-standing fundraiser for foodies.

The money raised will go to purchase medical equipment to help care for patients in the health centre’s complex hospital care, rehabilitation, palliative and long-term care programs.
