Brian Bush, co-owner and operator of The Providence Bay Tent and Trailer Park, took advantage of the fabulous fall weather now that the park has closed for the season. He hopped on his motorcycle and headed down country to attend the motorcycle rally at Port Dover on Friday the 13th. While down there, he enjoyed the opportunity to visit with family and friends and to take in a five day long blues festival.
By now, everyone probably knows that we are this year’s Harvest Glory Days winner in the intermediate town category for the second year in a row. We just thought that it would be great to toot our own horn again. Way to go to everyone who participated and to the ladies and men who spent hours of their time volunteering to decorate our town a big thank you. We will receive another leaf to add to our sign that is located at the fairgrounds.
Well, we are now using the new bridge spanning the Mindemoya River but we’re still going slow with only a single lane in use and the required streetlight to keep things orderly. The Bray Construction Company is now disassembling the bailey bridge that was in use all summer. It won’t be long now.
Congratulations go out to Kasy Smith on her engagement to Mike Hall. Kasy is the oldest daughter of Kelly Smith and Marie Neill.

With Halloween coming up, don’t forget to make sure and get treats to give out to the kiddies. You wouldn’t want to get ‘tricked’ if you don’t have any. Also, be careful if you’re out and about that night, sometimes in their excitement, the children don’t always pay attention to traffic. Drive slow.
Don’t forget about the monthly curling club breakfast that will be held on Thursday, November 2 from 7-9 am. Come on out and support this fundraiser.
