BULWER
IRISH NIGHT
Friday evening we took a
drive out to the Bulwer Community Center to attend their Irish
Night. The fun all started at 7
p.m. with emcee for the night
Serena Winkle welcoming all to
their night. The hall filled fast
with all awaiting the music of
Jan Graham, Wayne Nutbrown,
David McBurney, Don Atkinson,
The Drew Family, Terry Howell,
and the singing of Tami Spires,
Hannah Daugherty, Kendra Parnell, Darlene Kerr, Pierre, Stuart
McKelvey and friends. Ann
Brothel told an old Irish tale like
only Ann can. Grant Taylor even
got up and sang a few songs. The
Bulwer Community Center was
a buzz with Irish that evening.
The party finished a bit after 10
and all headed home.

“LES ROCK STARS”
IN LENNOXVILLE
Sunday we stopped in at the
Lennoxville Curling Club to support the Junior Girls Curling
team “Les Rock Stars.” This curling team represented Quebec at
the Women Junior Curling
Nationals 2016. This team will
be heading to Fredricton, New
Brunswick, in April to compete
in the Junior Grand Slam and
are hoping to bring medals back
with them. This group of young
ladies are certainly taking
Junior Curling to new heights
with their skill out on the ice and
winning smiles.
