The Quyon Curling Fun League has wrapped up for another year closing out the season with the Hot Shots party on April 12. The regular season winners were Glen Leach, Danny Foran, Sue Sparling, and Vicky Leach. The winners of the playoffs were Trevor Tanguay, Ryan Woermke, Donna Kennedy, and Leigh and Katie Dolan. The big winners of the Hot Shots competition were Trevor Tanguay and Leigh Dolan.
We enjoyed Billy T’s pizza and drinks supplied by the league, and there were also 50/50 draws and names drawn for many gift certificates. A big thank you to Glen Leach and his helpers for organizing the league, as we all have so much fun. Thanks also to the Shawville Curling Club staff for being so good to us throughout the season. We’re already looking forward to next year.

A group of Quyon ladies were out celebrating on April 13 and they gathered at Casa Greque in Aylmer for dinner. They were out to celebrate Cecile Dumont on her 25 years of sobriety, which is such an amazing accomplishment. They also were toasting Donna Kennedy as she has been cancer-free for 34 years, and also Gail Gavan on her birthday. All such wonderful and worthy reasons to celebrate!
Special wishes are going out to my great-aunt, Margaret Lang on the occasion of her 95th birthday, which she celebrated on April 15. Family and friends gathered at St. Joseph Manor in Campbell’s Bay where Aunt Margaret resides on Sunday afternoon to share her special day with her. Wishing her all the best for another great year ahead.
I’m also sending birthday wishes to two wonderful uncles celebrating this coming week. Best wishes to Laurie MacKechnie on April 18 and to Reid Young on April 19. Happy days to everyone celebrating this week.
On April 15th, I joined with friends at the Women’s Institute Hall to shower Josee Simard with gifts and good wishes. Josee, her husband Evan Prest and big brother Landyn are expecting a baby girl in June. We are all so excited for them and can’t wait to meet their little girl.
Congratulations to those brave young folks who participated in the spelling bees which were held at the Quyon Library over the weekend. The English competition was held on Saturday, and the French competition was held on Sunday. I always loved when we used to have little spelling bees in our classrooms when I was young, so it made me happy to hear they were bringing them back at the library. Well done to all involved.
