On Saturday evening, the Quyon Lions Club hosted a magic show at Gavan’s Hotel, with The Duke of . . .
Magic, Luc Leduc on stage to entertain the crowd. It was a full house and everyone enjoyed the clever and amazing tricks he performed. He also brought up many volunteers from the crowd to help with the show and they all did a terrific job as well. Kudos to the Lions for holding a fun evening for the community.
Later that evening, the hotel continued to fill up with patrons, as the staff of Gavan’s threw a surprise retirement party for owner Nick Matechuck. Nick was toasted by his longtime friend Randy Labadie and was presented gifts from the Pontiac Snowmobile Drivers Association and from Elizabeth Kluke on behalf of the staff at Gavan’s. A big thank you to Nick for the many years of memories and good times at the hotel. We are all wishing him well in his retirement.
Sympathy is expressed to the family and friends of Ronnie Hutchison as he passed away suddenly at the age of 58. Thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones at this sad time.
This week, we have birthday wishes going out to Dustin Young on Dec. 5, to Cash Watson and Bucky Fleck on Dec. 6 and to Willow Brownlee and Tessa Young on Dec. 7. Best wishes to everyone celebrating this week.
Santa Claus is coming to town. On Dec. 7, Quyon is the place to be as the Santa Claus Parade will be held at 1 p.m. The parade will leave Onslow School and finish at the new community centre. Santa will be there to visit with all of the children and the Quyon Lions Club will be providing treats and refreshments. That magical time of year is here, be sure to get out and enjoy it.
