Congratulations to Kenny Fleck and Jenna Rainey who got engaged last week. Wishing the happy couple nothing but the best as they plan for their big day.
The Quyon Pastoral Charge hosted a Harvest Tea on Saturday and it was nice to see a good crowd out to enjoy it despite the nasty weather outdoors. The bottle raffle table was a big hit with many people taking home an assortment of prizes. The draw was held for the homemade afghan donated by Bob and Mary-Ellen Young and crafted by Mary-Ellen. The big winner of the afghan was Eleanor Rennick. With the Charge being unable to host the annual Harvest Supper due to the demolition of the Lions Hall this fall the support for the tea was greatly appreciated.

Deepest sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Randy Frobel Sr. who passed away on Nov. 18 at the age of 69. Randy was a wonderful neighbour and friend to our family and he will be greatly missed.
The Quyon Ferry announced last week that they are still going strong despite the winter-like weather and are anticipating being open until Dec. 3 if not longer. Be sure to check the Ferry website or their Facebook page for updates.
Birthday wishes are going out to Holly Hamilton on Nov. 23, to Shannon Johnston-McCann on Nov. 24 and to Karen Stanley on Nov. 27. Best wishes to everyone celebrating this week.
Last week I mentioned that I loved the sweatshirt I got from Onslow School and for anyone still wishing to order shirts, it isn’t too late. They make great gifts for Onslow students and alumni. Contact Stacy Johnston for more information.
Mark your calendars for Dec. 9 as that is the date for the annual Santa Claus Parade hosted by the Quyon Lions Club. The parade starts at noon and the route will be different this year. It will be departing from St. Mary’s Church and ending at Onslow School. Afterwards, hot dogs and hot chocolate will be served and Santa will of course be greeting the children as well. It’s almost the most wonderful time of the year.
