On Saturday, Pauline, Suzanne Gagnon and Barry Throp attended a 60th surprise birthday party for . . .
Nancy Gagnon in Aylmer, Que.
Happy belated birthday and lots of love is wished to our dear grandson Benjamin who turned 11 on Sunday. We hope you had a fun filled day with your friends.
We were saddened to hear of the passing of René Marangère Jr. Our heartfelt sympathy, thoughts and prayers are with his wife (Nicole nee Vaillancourt) family and friends at this time.
Victor Bissonnette is celebrating a birthday on Oct. 3. Hope it is a good one.
Sadly, our apple tree was touched by frost in the spring and as a result we have very few apples this year. I will not be able to make as many pies.
Hunting season has begun in the Pontiac. Eager hunters have been planning their annual trips with great anticipation. This cherished tradition of deer and moose hunting is also a driver of the local economy. A significant component to our tourism and a promoter of outdoor activity. The traditional fall hunt has many important economic spin offs. Regardless of how successful hunters may be in bagging their prey, hunting remains a long held local and regional tradition.
While hunting is an enjoyable sport for many, we can always urge hunters to observe caution while using firearms. Enjoy your sport and return home safely.
The annual St. Alphonsus parish turkey and bean supper which was held at the Upper Pontiac Sports Complex on Sunday was very well attended.
