Christmas season is upon us and everyone is enjoying the Santa Claus Parades and other performances. Lucknow ‘s Parade and Festival of Lights was enjoyed by many in spite of the pouring rain and cold Friday evening, and Ripley’s was Sunday evening with a good crowd to enjoy all the floats. Of course, Santa  got to meet many of our young children at the festivities after.
 

The Kincardine Theatre Guild performance of "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat" is getting rave reviews and it's sure nice to know some of the cast too! We’re looking forward to seeing and hearing the great concerts from the Kincardine Community Singers, and the performances of HAWK Theatre's "The Wizard of Oz".  

 

Congratulations to Anne Marie MacInnes who received the Sovereign’s Medal for Volunteers at the Huron-Kinloss council meeting, Monday evening! This medal is presented by the Governor General for Canadians who, through their volunteer actions, improve the lives of other Canadians. Anne has been actively involved with the 4-H program for more than 25 years. 

 

Congratulations to Robyn and Greg Farrell on the birth of their little boy, Emmett Wilson, Nov. 25!
 

A reminder of the Purple Grove Women's Institute Dec. 7 meeting at Marilyn Reid’s home at 1:30 pm. Everyone is welcome; members are to bring a mystery Christmas goodie bag and a child’s gift for the Christmas Hamper.

 

Sympathy of the community is extended to the family of Ken MacDonald of Kinlough who died last week. Also, our thoughts and prayers are with folks recovering at home and in hospital during this busy time of year. 

 

Glad to see Sheena Houghten and family visiting with her parents, Doug and Shirley MacDonald, on the weekend. The MacDonald family had a Thanksgiving supper Friday evening.
