I hope all of the moms out there had a fabulous Mother’s Day. It was a beautiful weekend to celebrate. We started out with a lovely service at church, where guest minister Rev. Susan Butler Jones baptized two new members into the Quyon Pastoral Charge. The sweet little ones baptized were Isla, daughter of Bailey Henderson and Kyle Harris and Caleigh, daughter of Jennifer Lusignan and Jean-Marc Pilon.
After church, we went to the Legion where the Quyon Lions Club served up a delicious Mother’s Day breakfast. Then we went on to my sister’s home in Chelsea, Que. for a barbecue and a great afternoon spent with family. All of the moms (and aunties too) were treated to gifts and goodies. It was a truly wonderful day.
Congratulations to Sarah Kavanagh and Rob Fraser on the arrival of their first child. Their baby boy, Griffin Nathan, was born on May 10 much to the delight of the whole family. Wishing the new parents all the best with their little bundle of blue.

Last week, Pontiac High School hosted their annual Athletic Awards ceremony, and Rebecca Nugent won top honours for her Outstanding Contribution to Athletics, as well as Senior Female Athlete of the Year. Dakota Hudson was named Junior Male Athlete of the Year. Congratulations to Rebecca and Dakota along with all of their fellow award recipients.
Pontiac High also featured a musical last week with many students participating in the production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” I remember when that musical was done when I was in high school. It’s so hard to believe that was 20 years ago now. Congratulations to all involved in the production, I heard it was terrific.
Deepest sympathy is extended to Joe Daley and family on the passing of Lise (Quinn) Daley. Lise passed away suddenly on May 7 at the age of 77. She will be dearly missed by all of her friends in the Quyon area.
Cruise Nights are back in Quyon again for the summer with the first one being held this week on Tuesday night. Classic car enthusiasts are invited to Casse Croute du Village every Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. to show off their wheels and visit with friends.
Wishing everyone a great Victoria Day long weekend. Hopefully the weather will be great and the weekend relaxing.
