GORDON—Gore Bay ended the town’s 125th anniversary celebrations literally with a bang this past New Year’s Eve.
A fireworks display, operated and set off and run by members of the Gore Bay/Gordon Joint Volunteer Fire Department were held outside, to cap off a great evening of fun for all members of the family inside, at the Gore Bay curling club.
“I would like to thank everyone for coming out tonight to celebrate New Year’s Eve,” stated Gore Bay Councillor Jack Clark.
During the evening, families-children and adults alike were split up into teams to take part in the many games held during the night. This included curling, mini-putt, bowling, ‘the short game of curling’ and crafts other games.
As well, there were hot dogs, chili, nachos and salsa available for hungry participants and soft drinks available. The bar was also open.
Each team received points in each event they took part in, and the first place prize was presented by Mr. Clark to the top three teams. Taking first place was the Lockerson team (made up of members of the Lockeyer and Patterson families). Second place went to the Colton/Laura Chevrette team, while the third place prize was won by the Chad/Shaun/Jackson Chevrette team.
