PHOTO OPPORTUNITY THIS THURSDAY: CHAMPLAIN COLLEGE TO RECEIVE VALUABLE QUILT

Members of the local media are invited to a reception at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 6, at Champlain College, Trent University. A quilt, designed and made by the Trent Quilters’ Guild to reflect Champlain College and its environment, will be presented to the college by local quilters.

The quilt, valued in excess of $5,000, was made over the past two years under the direction of Alice Williams, one of North America’s leading fabric artists and Champlain College’s associate artist-in-residence. The presentation of the quilt acknowledges Champlain College’s support for local artists over the past ten years.

Dessert and coffee will be served and the presentation will be made at 7 p.m.
