The Quyon Lions Club held their annual Curling Bonspiel at the Shawville Curling Club on Saturday. There was a great turnout of curlers playing in three different divisions with fun competition going on all day long. I had such a good day playing with the Sweeping Beauties and I’m grateful to Brenda Clarke, Wendy Bronson and Cheryl St-Amour for asking me to join them.

At the end of the day, Brenda’s other team, Brenda’s Beauties, which also included Adam Johnston, Sue Chabot and Heather Desabrais were the big winners. It was a great day for a great cause with all proceeds going to the Quyon Lions. Kudos to Glen Leach and all involved in putting on this much anticipated event for our community.

Just down the road, the Fish Findlay 3-on-3 Classic hockey tournament was taking place all weekend long. It was great to see so many out at the arena watching fast-paced and entertaining 3-on-3 hockey. Congratulations to all of the winners and all who took part. The money raised goes to minor hockey in Shawville, benefitting young hockey players from all over our area.

Deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Benny Teevens who passed away on Feb. 26 at the age of 67. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time.

Birthday wishes are extended to Hollie Leach on March 10 and to Faith Hamilton on March 12. Best wishes to everyone celebrating this week.
