Special birthday wishes are going out to Gerard “Gig” Trudeau from his family, as he celebrated his 80th birthday on lucky Friday the 13th! Best wishes to Gig on this milestone occasion.
Birthday wishes are also going out to Denis Roy, as he turned the big 5-0 on the 13th. Denis’ family and friends surprised him with a party on Friday evening to mark his special day, and everyone had a great time celebrating with the birthday boy.
We also have birthday wishes extended to Cindy Lapierre on July 18th, to Kerry-Lynn Campbell, Ricky Belland, and Gwen Peppard all celebrating on the 19, to Bryce Hudson on the 22, Nancy Provost also on the 22 and to Brenda Clarke on the 24. Best wishes to all celebrating this week.

On July 11, I took the day off work to go to Mont Cascades with a group of family and friends. It was the perfect day for the water park, and we had such a fun day on the slides and in the pool. It was great summer fun.
Last Wednesday marked another big night for my 3-pitch team. The Lollygaggers scored the most runs we’ve ever had in a game, with 10 runs. We were pretty excited. Yes, we still lost the game, but we might actually be making progress. Go Gaggers!
On Saturday, I was thrilled to be invited out on the pontoon with Jeff, Kerry-Lynn, and Glenna Campbell. We spent the afternoon and evening touring up and down the Ottawa, stopping at Mohr’s Island to enjoy the sun, sand, and water. Not even a visit by a snake could ruin the day. Thanks to Kerry and Jeff, I had a wonderful time.
The Quyon Flyers lost 5-3 to the Kars Aces last week, dropping them to second place in the league standings of the GOFL. The Flyers will be playing a double-header at home on Thursday July 19th against West Carleton Electric. Game times are 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.
It won’t be long now until the third annual Quyon Tractor and Truck Pull, as the big day on July 28 is fast approaching. Wishing the team of organizers and volunteers all the best as they continue to work hard to put on this popular event in our community. We can’t wait!
