Newfoundland heritage day

Going back in time to re-visit the Newfoundland history and culture at a wonderful heritage day organized by the Springdale Pentacostal Church.

The green place mat show cases the Newfoundland tartan, which is a plaid pattern with a specific selection of colours and arrangement to represent and identify Newfoundland.

The meaning of each colour on the tartan

Brunch from top left to bottom right: Raisin loaf, baked beans in molasses (Québecois use maple syrup), toutan with molasses, fish cake, baloney, macaroni casserole

Fetching water: The wooden square is called a hoop and is used to
prevent the buckets from swinging and bumping into the legs.
How do you think they walk through gates and doors?
They elevate one bucket to tilt the hoop until it reaches a narrower vertical alignment to allow user to pass through the entrance.

Laundry day

Rickett's blue square made the water blue but will ensure your shirts come out white
