Spring Carnival
By Paul Tucker

 "Can you feel it, the suns warming rays. Can you hear it, the birds songs as they return from the south, can you see it, as the ice and snow leave to be replaced by the grass that has slept through the winter". Come on out on Sat. March 3rd. Folks its time to celebrate! Spring is just around the corner. Parents, bring the kids out for a day of fun where you can create a snow sculpture together or free public skating. Hockey teams or other groups such as cottage  associations, or whomever, can challenge the Fire Department to a good old tug of war to stretch out those weary winter muscles.

    Listen to music by local artists that will get your toe tapping and maybe even entice you to take your partner for a swirl around the "dance floor" (parking lot). Enjoy the trapper's carnival with exhibits and understand this sustainable harvest. There will be dog sled races and maybe even a ride for the little ones. There is going to be a giant bake sale by the local church groups so come early, as these scrumptious delicacies won't last long. The Lion's booth will be open throughout the day with everything from a breakfast sandwich to hearty soup or stew for lunch. The Royal Canadian Legion is hosting a roast beef dinner Saturday evening, followed by a dance.  This is sure to be a sell out event so get your reserve tickets early so not to be disappointed. There is going to be exhibits by groups such as the OPP and the MNR so bring your questions for such things as the latest fishing regulations or boating regulations. There are numerous events planned which include everyone from infant (baby crawl) to adult (ladies nail driving contest) to name a couple, so come on out and spend the day together just having some plain old fun! For all too soon spring will be here Sat. March 3rd and this is just a great way to send winter on its way until next year.


The Musher is Barry Hooper from Pontypool,  with the Wigley"s  Siberian Husky sled dog team.
