Guests invited to don the Anne braids for charity

A couple in Union Corner, P.E.I., has found a way to entertain guests and support a good cause at the same time.

Erma Caissie-Richard said she and her husband ask visitors to their cottage to wear an Anne of Green Gables hat and donate $5 to charity.

She takes photos of her guests donning the hairdo, and posts themon herFacebookprofile.

"Some people jump into it right away and you never in a million years would think that they would," she said.

"Other people are a flat no. And other people, they want to do it, but they're a little shy or embarrassed and then as soon as we mention it's for charity, then people will right away say sure."

Caissie-Richard and her husband have raised about $450 this year for Prince County Hospital and Children's Memorial Place.
