Friday, July 20, 2018 5 Brooklin Town Crier In 1936, my grandmother, Hattie Bailey, opened a concession stand in the orchard between her house at 149 Baldwin Street N and my grandfather Jerry's Sunoco service station at 157. This stand was referred to as "The Booth" and it was from here that Hattie sold sandwiches, beverages, baked goods, candy, cigarettes, ice cream and paintings by local artist Cliff Delong. A neighbour, Mrs Pengelly, baked pies Hattie sold by the slice. Local women brought flowers from their gardens. Members of Rebecca Lodge held their tea parties in the orchard. Before closing the booth in 1953, Hattie also operated a concession stand for many years at the Brooklin Spring Fair.
