Bryan Morgan of Peterborough and his son Jonathan Francis (24) from Bancroft were home for a surprise visit to mom Sandy Morgan between Christmas and New Year’s. We’re sure she enjoyed the visit.
The Providence Bay/Spring Bay Lions Club masquerade party at the Providence Bay Centennial Hall on New Year’s Eve was a rousing success as usual. There were prizes awarded for best dancer that went out to Mike Neill, best dressed went to Ashley Noble, best mask prize went to Cindy McMaster, and the prize for most beads went to Barb Neill. Thank you for the prizes generously donated from Mindemoya Home Hardware and Buie’s Variety Store in Spring Bay.
Cheryl Sheppard and special friend Alex Daroczi enjoyed a trip to sunny Cayo Santa Maria in Cuba to bring in the New Year. They enjoyed meeting people from all over Canada, Poland, Germany, Australia and of course from Cuba. They went out deep-sea fishing. “The champ” caught a barracuda, and Cheryl caught a mackerel.
