My family, Deb, Fred, Jon and Quinton Hakkers, Doug, Joyce, Heidi, Craig and Jamie, Dave and I would like to wish my readers both near and far, friends, neighbours and family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We will hope that 2008 will be a good year for everyone. Sympathy is extended to Bill Craig and the family of Annie Wight of Listowel, Bill’s sister who passed away this past week. Mother Nature played tricks on us again this weekend with high winds and snow. It cancelled a lot of church services in the area and many people had Christmas gatherings planned. We were some of those people but hopefully we will get better weather on Dec. 30. Happy birthday to Joye (Craig) Kane of Fullarton who celebrated her 75th birthday on Sunday, Dec. 16.

For the first two years, the individual fee will be $20 per night to increase to $21 for the last two years. The group camping fee, with no facility rental will be $15 per night, then $16. With full use of facilities included each day, the cost for 150-250 campsites in 2008 and 2009 will be $17 per night. If there are 251-499 campsites filled this drops to $16, then to $15 for more than 500 campsites rented. The regular rental fees will apply for less than 150 campsites. In 2010 and 2011 each of these figures will increase by $1. Camp ratesset for ’08
