Tomorrow there is a Mother’s Day Tea Party taking place at the John D. Bradley Convention Centre in Chatham.

It is the third and largest event held by Shop Local organizer Nancy Nurse. “It’s a family event with children’s crafts, face painting and activities for everyone. It is a good way to get your Mother’s Day shopping done ahead of time”, said Nurse.

The entrance fee is $5, with $2 from every ticket going to the Trust Fund for Emma Jackson, a 1 1/2-year-old Chatham girl who tragically lost her mother last week.

There will be a giveaway at 10 a.m. of 50 swag bags that are loaded with goodies like coupons, samples, catalogues and treats. Another giveaway will happen at 1 p.m. of another 50 swag bags.

Here is your chance to get out, have fun with the family, support local vendors while shopping for Mother’s Day and support a good cause.
