Maple Grove WI The December meeting of the Maple Grove WI (Waterloo District, Guelph Area) was a potluck at the home of Merle Newmaster. The ladies then enjoyed a tour of a miniature Christmas village at the home of Barb and Dave Potje. Barb takes several weeks each yearto set up hervillage with little vignettes of village life using over 100 houses and many trees and ï¬gures. The village was lit up as a night scene when the ladies entered; then the lights were turned on and the village came to life. Many things were moving, like skaters, boats, and trains. Little scenes showed everything from street hawkers selling their wares, to a funeral, to a skating party. It took a lot oftime to appreciate it all. Barb told the ladies of how the village layout was constructed differently each year, such as the number of houses and trees, where she acquired pieces and where she stored it all. It was a most interesting evening that will long be remembered.
