I hope everyone enjoyed the last long weekend of the summer. I cannot believe that it is September already. Where has the summer gone?
On Friday evening, we took in the Shawville Fair. We enjoyed the food, the bisque’s, the horse competitions and the entertainment. We even took a ride on the ferris wheel. It was nice meeting and chatting with Connie Gray and her daughter Leanne.

Residents of the Black River/Green Lake and the general public should be aware that the municipality of Waltham will be temporarily closing the Black River Road (Rivière Noire) from Sept. 10 to approximately Sept.14. It is necessary to make critical repairs to the road at the site of what was once referred to as Butter Hill. Spring flooding and run off has weakened the road and it is now necessary to shore up that section for public safety. Residents and regular users of the road should make plans based on the fact that the road will be impassable until repairs are complete.
