Around The Region
These were some of the hard-working ladies that gave their all last week, preparing orders for daffodils
all across the Eastern Townships. Corey Bellam photo.

while there, Don Parsons of
Cookshire came in to the Church
hall to pick up the daffodils for
the Sawyerville-Cookshire area–
Cookshire being 39 packs of ten
flowers, and Sawyerville being
40 packs of ten flowers plus a few
more. Don told us that about 900
yellow daffodils were headed to
just these small towns alone.
The hard-working group of
ladies certainly had to hustle to
get everything ready. The Len-
noxville United Church donates
their hall to this worthy cause
and with countless volunteers
this daffodil days was a huge
success. We lined up the ladies
for a fast photo but we were told
they had to get right back to
work, as customers were waiting.

LENNOXVILLE
PROM FAIRIES
On Sunday, we visited the
Alexander Galt Regional High
School to attend an afternoon
held by the Lennoxville Prom
Fairies. These are not your ordi-
nary winged fairies that flit
around twinkling–they are a
group of men and women that
provide and make prom dresses
and tuxedos for young adults
that are graduating from Alexan-
der Galt this year. They provide
the dress or tuxedo to kids that
really can't afford a dream prom
dress, and all the cost that comes
with graduation from high
school. This hard-working group
help to make it a day that these
young men and women will
remember the rest of their lives.
This group also pays for the
makeup for the young ladies, the
hair, and everything else.
Sunday, this Prom Fairies
group held a benefit bingo event
at Alexander Galt Regional High
School, and the Chronicle
attended to check out the action.
We spoke to Prom Fairies orga-
nizer Nancy Grey and we were
told that 2017 marks the fifth
year doing the bingo and the
sixth year doing dresses and
tuxedos for the grads. The bingo
was attended by very close to 180
people, so it was a very nice
turnout that will certainly help
many.
