Congratulations to Bailey Henderson and Kyle Harris as they welcomed a beautiful baby boy on May 31. They named him Cowan. He is a little brother for Isla. Wishing the whole family all the best with their sweet bundle of blue.
On Thursday evening, we attended the barbeque, book sale and talent show at Onslow School. Thank you to the Home and School Committee for putting on such a fun event. The burgers and hot dogs were delicious and the Scholastic book fair was a huge success with $750 worth of books coming back to the school for their library. Then came the talent show which was such a hoot.
Many of the students took part in singing and dance routines and there was a young comedian telling jokes in between acts. Well done to all involved. Onslow definitely has some talented stars in the making.
At the end of the evening, the winner of the 50/50 draw was announced to be Onslow student Heidi Frobel and she donated her winnings back to the graduating class for their year-end celebrations. What a kind gesture.
Friday evening, the Quyon Legion was the place to be as they held a 1980s themed ladies night. There was a great crowd out and many were decked out in their spiffy 1980s fashions. An awesome selection of prizes were drawn throughout the evening, donated by local businesses, vendors and artists. I hear it was a fabulous night of fun. I was sorry to have missed it.
On Sunday, we attended the year-end dance recital of my niece, Neve Young at the Museum of History. Neve took part in a jazz dance routine, and she was a natural. Her fans were very impressed. She and all of the other dancers from Studio Danse Danielle in Aylmer, Que. did a terrific job. I also saw several other familiar faces participating over the weekend both in pictures on social media and on stage on Sunday, including Keira Armitage, Charlee Fish, Emma Guertin, and Kalli McColgan. Congratulations to all of the dancers. They were amazing.
Deepest sympathy is extended to the family of Pauline Pilon McColgan as she passed away on May 21 after a courageous battle with cancer. Thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends at this sad time.
I mentioned Peggy Fraser’s birthday in my column last week but I did not realize it was a big one this year. Happy 70th to Peggy on June 3 with love from her fan club, Liam, Molly and Griffin. We also have birthday wishes going out to Hal Young on June 4, to Mae McCann on June 6, to Carl Demell on June 7 and to my cousin Brody Platt who is turning four on June 8. Best wishes to everyone celebrating this week.
Don’t forget there will be a Spaghetti Supper tonight at Onslow School hosted by the Quyon Canada Day Committee. All proceeds will go towards the Canada Day festivities and fireworks, which will be held in Quyon on June 30. Hope to see you all there.
