This past Saturday was a perfect day for a Tractor & Truck Pull. Quyon was the place to be, and the bleachers were . . .
full of folks of all ages who came out despite the heat to watch exciting pulls all afternoon. Jeff Overton was the big winner of the day, taking the Donnie Campbell Memorial Trophy with “Midnight Massey”. Hats off to all of the organizers and volunteers who made this event such a success, bringing big excitement and fun to our little town. Well done.
On Friday July 26, the gang from Mountainview Turf enjoyed an afternoon off as the annual company golf tournament was held at the Kingsway Golf Club. We enjoyed beautiful weather, a great round of golf, a delicious meal, and lots of fun. After dinner, an amazing array of prizes were handed out, all donated by suppliers and local businesses. A big thank you to Claire Mulligan for organizing the tournament, and to the Hamilton family for making it all possible. It was a terrific day.
Deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Calvin Johnston, as he passed away on July 25 after a courageous battle with cancer. Thoughts and prayers are with his loved ones at this sad time.
Congratulations to Jason and Mandy (Demers) Wiggins, on the recent birth of their new baby boy. They named their son Jameson, and he is a little brother for Abby. Warmest wishes to the whole family.
Birthday wishes are going out to Briggs Richardson, as he turns 21 on July 31. Happy birthday to Mary-Sheila Keon and Audrey Fraser, also both on July 31, André Coté on Aug. 2, Kendall Young celebrating her first birthday on Aug. 3, Brodee Campbell on Aug. 4 and Kaylee and Jessica Hamilton on Aug 6. Best wishes to everyone celebrating this week.
This coming Sunday, there will be no service at Quyon United Church. However, the Sunday School will be hosting a 5KM Walk/Bike-A-Thon to raise money for their new program “Godly Play” which they will be implementing in the fall. All are welcome to come out and walk or bike. I am looking forward to it.
