Deepest sympathy is extended to the family of Lawrence Tracey who passed away on Oct. 27 at the age of 72. Our thoughts . . .
and prayers are with his loved ones at this sad time.
Our condolences also go out to Urban Curley and family on the loss of Margaret Curley on Oct. 31. We will keep her family in our hearts as they grieve.
The rain didn’t seem to dampen the Halloween spirit in Quyon last Thursday, as we greeted many trick-or-treaters at my mom’s door that evening. It was so nice to see the wonderful costumes, and so many happy, excited children. There were plenty of scares for them in town, as the Pontiac Community Gym had set up a spooky gym and the Municipality of Pontiac had a haunted house set up at the fire hall in town. Marcotte’s Store is also always set up to frighten and it is a big hit with trick-or-treaters.
The Quyon Library held their annual Halloween party on Monday Oct. 28 and they had many little ones out to enjoy the evening. Kudos to all for their hard work in making the day so special for the kids.
We had some wild, windy weather in our area on Friday. The Quyon Ferry had to close for the weekend due to damage caused by the wind. It was great to hear they were able to re-open Sunday afternoon. I know the commuters were relieved.
This past Saturday, we were invited to a Sip and See at my cousin Patti Davis’ in Stittsville, Ont. to meet her new grand-daughter Georgia. It was so nice to hold the baby and to get to congratulate the proud parents, Kenny and Jenna Fleck. We had a great visit with family, thank you to Patti for having us.
This week, we have birthday wishes going out to Vicky Leach on Nov. 12. Best wishes to everyone celebrating this week.
I am looking forward to this Saturday, as the Onslow Home and School Committee will be hosting their annual Christmas Craft Show at the school. It is a great way to get a start on your Christmas shopping, and Santa will also be in the building to get those early Christmas wishes in from the children.
The annual Remembrance Day ceremony will be held on Nov. 10 at 1:45 p.m. with the parade leaving the Quyon Legion and heading to the Cenotaph where the service will be held. A light lunch will follow at the Legion.
Please be sure to buy your poppy and support our veterans and those who currently serve our country, and plan to attend the service.
