A few weeks ago Georges Bar in Chichester hosted a “Night at the Dragons Den”. Eight business plans were presented to a panel of dragons who recognized some good investments. A great evening and lots of laughs.
This past weekend a group of campers from West Pontiac and Pembroke area gathered at Ladysmith to celebrate the 32nd Oktoberfest and the last weekend of camping. Congratulations to Ray Venasse of Aylmer, Que. who took first prize for the modified truck pull.
It was a great show and there was great variety of music all weekend long. Our campsite group enjoyed wonderful off-stage entertainment with Larry Turner of Nichabau, Doug Ryan of North Bay and Louis Schryer of Chapeau.
At the turkey supper in Chapeau I had a nice chat with Cynthia Allard and she was telling me that her mom, Grace is now living at the Manoir in Fort Coulonge. It is not always possible to care for loved ones at home and we are very fortunate to have this long term care facility.
Happy Thanksgiving and good luck to all hunters. Remember “safety comes first.”
