The Delia Drop-in Centre took a step back in time to medieval times hosting a themed lunch.
On September 26, the group hosted 14 at the Unicorner Store in Delia.
This featured a feast of cabbage soup in a bun bowl, and chicken with all the trimmings of fall vegetables. It was topped off with a dessert of stewed rhubarb.
The feast was served up using wooden plates and utensils.
Entertainment for the group from Morrin and Delia was provided by a Lord and Lady, three wenches and a court jester.
Delia Drop-in Centre activity coordinator Terry Trefz explains they have been actively trying to get people more involved with their activities.
“We are just trying to get more interaction within our community and let people know we are there, we‘re not just a coffee shop,” said Trefz. “Get involved in our community, that’s our inspiration.”
She said the idea of medieval lunch was just to do something different.
“I am always trying to come up with different ideas to get people to do things,” she said. “Instead of just having coffee, coffee, coffee, or having a day trip, let’s have someone come into our community and be a part of our community.”
She says they want to work more with residents outside the community and surrounding areas.
They have had people from Hanna and Morrin join in their activities.
“These small communities are dying, and if we all work together and I do one thing once a month, and they do something one month, we’re not going to die, we are going to keep it going around,” she said.
