Congratulations to Katie Robinson and Lane McMurtry who were honoured with a Stag and Doe party at Gavan’s Hotel on Saturday night. Friends and family gathered to celebrate with the happy couple as their big day approaches. Wishing them all the best.
It was nice to see McCann’s Chips opening for another season last Friday, as it has been a fixture in town for many years. I certainly enjoyed my first snack there this year.

Deepest sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Valentina Marinova who recently passed away. Thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time.
Big birthday wishes are going out to Molly Dowe as she turned six on June 19, with love from mom, dad and Liam. She celebrated over the weekend with her family and friends.
I’d like to send birthday wishes out to my little cousin Ryla Platt and to my niece Neve Young both celebrating on June 21. We also have birthday wishes going out to Randy Labadie on June 21 and to Eddie McCann and Avery Richardson, both on June 27. Happy days to everyone celebrating this week.
It is great to hear that plans for Canada Day festivities in Quyon are coming along. Just this past weekend the committee was able to confirm that the annual parade, flag raising ceremony, and fireworks will be taking place in Quyon on June 30. There will also be an activity for children in the park courtesy of the Quyon Lions and Lionettes. The organizers hope to have a wonderful parade in honour of our country’s 150th birthday and they are promising an extra-big fireworks display to celebrate. I am looking forward to the festivities.
Looking ahead, I hope everyone has July 29 marked on their calendars as that is the date for the Quyon Tractor and Truck Pull. The committee is in full planning mode after the successful revival last year and I’m sure it will be yet another huge success.
