Reports are it was a greatshow.Christening the new shop at McGavin’s Farm Equipment and Farm Supply was the staff of McGavin’s celebrating the Christmas season. A delicious turkey dinner was provided, then an evening of playing games, watching Neil’s extensive collection of videos from events in the past, listening to music and of course visiting with family and friends of all of the staff. The over 50 people there enjoyed a great “down home” evening for the Christmas season. Darn, it wasn’t me winning theultimate Christmas present but it wassomeone from the Walton area. Thegrand prize winner of the CKNXUltimate Christmas present cruise tothe Caribbean was Julie Gagnier. Congrats to her and the lucky person who goes with her next November. The rest of us qualifiers will just have to dream of that vacation. My unluckiness continued when the draws were made at the Walton Inn. Enjoying the varying prizes will be Nelson Ryan, Don Dalton, Ed McClure, John Huether and Ruth Schade. An apology to Glenda Morrison for missing her name in the report ofthe choral evening at Duff’s UnitedChurch. Glenda was a key organizerand planner as well as organist andplayed in the band as well.
