DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Ladies of Mu Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma International is bringing back its annual Teddy Bear Fair at the Lewiston High School gym Saturday, Nov. 16, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Ladies of Mu are all educators, active and retired, from the Lewiston/Auburn area. Money generated by our fair goes to scholarships, one for a graduating senior from one of the high schools in the Twin Cities and surrounding communities, who plans to go into education; the other goes to a DKG member who is working on an advanced degree.

The Ladies of Mu will sell cookies, cakes, pies, bread and an assortment of candies and pastries; used books and DVDs; white elephant items; harvest items such as jellies, jams, salsas, pickles; gently loved stuffed animals; crafts, including knitted scarves, hats and mittens, baby layettes, as well as kitchen towels and dishcloths; and holiday crafts, including Christmas and Thanksgiving decorations.

We will also have a raffle table with handmade items, gift certificates for lobster and gas, a children’s craft basket, and many other treasures. We hope many will come out to see us and support our efforts to raise scholarship money. — No name, no town
