This was the special anniversary cake, decorated with pink flowers, because pink is the Vinettes colour!! |

| This is Rusty MacNut, who was the mascot of the 1979 VCCC May Tour, hosted by the Victoria Chapter. The Vinettes bought up every kilt and piece of tartan fabric they could find, and made these wonderful tams, and dressed several hundred Rustys for tour giveaways!! |
