Riverdale District Health Auxiliary feels we had a successful ethnic food court this year at the annual Home and Craft Sale. It was co-ordinated by Rivers and District Chamber of Commerce on Saturday, Sept. 20 and held at Riverdale Community Centre. Our numbers are down slightly but we sold out of most foods by 2 p.m. (The food court opened at noon; the sale opened at 11 a.m.).
