Visitors spent $350,000 on 200 quilts, auctioned items and food at the 45th annual Mennonite Relief Sale at New Hamburg.
The sale, which is held on the last Saturday of May at the New Hamburg fairgrounds, is a sister to the Mennonite Heifer Sale every February at Carson's Auction Centre at Listowel. Together, the two sales have now raised more than $14 million for the Mennonite Central Committee which helps poor people in more than 60 countries.
