Vacation Vacation Bible School at Zion Mennonite Fellowship provided a little fun for the kids with some knowledge on the side. There was storytelling, colouring and drama, which is what these ladies undertook. Carolyn Roth, left, led the girls in the exercise, while Sarah Zacharias, centre, and Tanya Roth, left, played their parts to perfection. (Shawn Loughlin photo) M. Fraser greets Work, work, work. The mennonite construction crew that’s working at Dauphin’s Feed Mill are busy bees. The addition is coming along at quite a pace and it may be ready by month’s end. We look forward to having the store opening to serve our wee community of Walton. Travelling to St. Jacob’s Playhouse in Waterloo were Marilyn McDonald, Anne Ryan, Barb Tervit and Fran Newman. They enjoyed the production of Legends and report it was fantastic. Off on a weekend vacation to Sudbury were Sherry, Emma and Owen Taylor. They were off to visit Susan McLachan, Sherry’s sister. They went to Science Rock and stopped at a cottage at French River on the way home. Swimming, tubing and water fun capped off the adventure. It was the Elliott reunion in Kitchener at the home of Bob and Sharon Elliott. Helen, Graeme and Michael Craig were there, along with Shannon and Dave Soontiens, Mary Elliott, Vancouver, and Scott and Emily La Rue of Haliburton along with many La Rue children and family and Elliott children and family totalling nearly 40 in attendance. Food, games, swimming, visiting were all part of Saturday’s get together. Some of the men staying over went golfing on Sunday morning as well. I attended the 51st reunion of the Beuermann clan of Brodhagen. The clan has met at the Brodhagen Hall for nearly 40 years and this year nearly 60 were in attendance. I was in charge of the family games and every child received a prize. Potluck lunch was delicious and the huge family picture taken on the steps of the hall was taken as usual. It’s always fun to see the extended relatives. The McDonalds had a family get- together at Jason and LeeAnn Konarskis on the weekend. Brother- in-law Charlie Calhoun and wife Karin from Roaring Gap, North Carolina, were here for a week to visit with the family, Leona McDonald, Peg Rogerson, Rick, Jo- Ann and Scott, LeeAnn and Jason. Everyone had a great afternoon visiting and a barbecue supper. July progresses on. Celebrating birthdays this past week are Dianne Blake, Brad Knight, Sean and Emily Mitchell, Allan Carter, Gerald Watson, Mitchell Ryan, Neil Mitchell, Brenda Finlayson, Ralph Bos, Lorne Glanville, Jasmin Roth, Steve Fritz, Lorna Fraser and Melanie Kirkby. The diamonds in Walton have been quiet this past week as the Brewers, Wonders and Indians all played away. The Brewers’ last outing was in Belmore where they suffered a 7-5 loss. Scott Leonhardt pitched for Walton. The Brewers play next Tuesday at home against Brussels Tigers July 17 at 8 p.m. The Walton Wonders were home to Kittens and Cougars two weeks ago and came away with the 22-18 win. A 10 run, sixth inning earned the go-ahead runs. Hot with the bats were Lisa DeJong and LeeAnn Konarski giving six for six. Jolene McNichol going five for six and Jo- Ann McDonald going five for five for the night. The Wonders travelled to Belgrave to face the Classics last week. A terrible first inning for Walton, giving up seven runs, made for a tough climb back to the final score of 17-9 for the Classics.
