The Tailgate Sale, a Chelsea Days event for more than 15 years, will take place at the site of St Mary Magdalene (SMM) Church established in 1875 (See: Gatineau Valley Historical Society St. Mary Magdalene Anglican Church, Chelsea )
The event will showcase an aspect of Chelsea’s heritage and will bring individuals and community groups (e.g. Gatineau Valley Gardiners, la Petite Fanfare) together to exchange goods, savour shawarma prepared by Chelsea Shawarma et Pizza, ring the church bell, chat with a “Memory Passer” and listen to old-time violin music performed by violinist, Andreea Arbonne of La Petite Fanfare.
This is a secular event. In the spirit of community-building, SMM Church will donate all the proceeds from the sale of the vendors’ spaces and bake table to local charities. In past years as many as 700 people have attended a single Tailgate Sale”.
The event will be advertised in local print and online media and by the Municipality of Chelsea as part of the 150th Anniversary celebrations.
