MCC Festival Auction and Relief Sale 2007 - Photo Gallery

 

These colourful balloon hats, made by a clown in the Children's area, could be seen all over the Abbotsford TRADEX where the annual MCC Abbotsford Festival is held each year.

Young people help staff the auction computers at the annual MCC Festival in Abbotsford. The Festival raised nearly $700,000 for MCC's Peace projects worldwide.

Nathan Wiebe holds his tickets to the Canucks/Ducks game, which he scored at the Children's Auction. Wiebe is a big Canucks fan! A second set of tickets to a Canucks/Penguins game were also auctioned bringing in more than $500.

"I can't go home with money still in my wallet!" one woman exclaimed as she dumped all her coins at the Penny Power booth.

Sara Bremner holds up one of the many jars of coins to be counted and rolled at the Penny Power booth.

These four boys got front row seats at the Children's Auction at the MCC Festival. Children, accompanied by an adult, have an opportunity to bid on kid-friendly items. This year's auction raised more than $2000 for MCC's Peace projects!

Erwin Cornelsen and his friend were back again to share their handiwork at the wood craft booth. A special highlight this year was this beautiful hand-carved chess set.

This beautiful loaf of bread was donated by Cottage Bakery and was one of two symbolic loaves of bread auctioned off at the festival. In total, the loaves of bread raised nearly $200,000!

Because this year's festival focused on MCC's Peace projects, a symbolic Peace Candle was auctioned. It sold for $10,000.

Fraserway RV in Abbotsford donated a beautiful RV for this year's auction.

Parents and children enjoyed all the action at the Children's area which included an auction, bouncy castles, mini golf, face painting, hockey shoot, and more.

Tacos! Tacos! Tacos!

One of the most popular food booths at the Festival is the Vereniki booth - cottage cheese filled perogies served with farmer sausage and a cream sauce. The line up stretched for nearly a block!

Jake and Louise Dyck and their family were one of the first in the Vereniki line up. Over 25,000 vereniki are sold each year! Grandson Brett opted for pizza.
