St. Mary's, Edgerton Shows Support for Jasper Church and Community

When the Crew of St. Mary’s, Edgerton heard about the devastating wildfire in Jasper that consumed one-third of the town including St. Mary and St. George Church and the homes of all but three parishioners, they knew exactly what to do with the proceeds of their annual bake sale.

Held over the Long Weekend, the sale featured homemade pies, bread, buns, muffins, cookies and more, fresh produce from the crew’s gardens, jams, jellies and pickles. Tables laden with goodies were purchased within 15 minutes, netting $2,800 for the Jasper Anglican community.

The Lake Bake Sale (originally held at a cabin at Clear Lake), was started in 1973 by St. Mary’s ACW. In recent years, the sale has been held at the Arm Lake clubhouse and campground, where the managers donate space for the sale. In addition to local Edgerton and Wainwright patrons, the sale is supported by many people camping and on holidays. Submitted by Donna Wilkinson, St. Mary’s, Edgerton-Dayspring
