Missed in last week's news was a
visitor to Walton. Helen Craig's
sister Mary from Burnaby, British
Columbia was here for the weekend
to attend the celebration of 60 years
of marriage for Jack and Florence
Carter. It was a family party at
Northside United Church in
Seaforth.
Welcome home to Glenda (Carter)
Morrison and Darryl and Amanda
who have moved from St. Jacob's to
Brussels. Glenda is organist at both
Duff's United, Walton and Brussels
United Church.
Away hunting in Northern Quebec
two weeks ago were Lorne
Glanville, Harold and Paul
McCallum, and Chris Poland. They
were hunting caribou and were
successful, with each of them
getting-two.
There certainly was lots of snow
around here for the second deer
hunt. Hunters were struggling
through very deep snow and were
finding it difficult to find and scare
out the deer. One group of hunters
that included Barry and Ben Hoegy,
Paul McCallum and Steve Dennis
were successful in getting three deer
including a six-point buck.
The Campbell gang that includes
Ken, Geoff, and Darrell Dalton,
Mike Campbell, Dave McClure,
Doug Smale,- Doug Fry, Dennis
Murray, Tom Johnston, Jonathon
Hugill and the four Mikes - Boven,
Devereaux, Smale and DeJong also
agreed that it was tough hunting
with all the deep snow. They were
successful in getting seven deer with
one being an eight-point buck.
The Sawmill Road Christmas
Parade that is a neighbourhood
gathering of friends had a rather
stormy afternoon on Sunday for
their parade of machinery. There
was a combine, manure spreader,
skid steer, corn planter, tractor and
stone picker and other tractors and
even Santa.
The rather chilly participants
completed the parade and gathered
at Gord and Irma Pryce's for a
potluck supper and Christmas cheer.
Good show everyone!
Wednesday was a long day for
Harold, Ron, Betty, Paul and Dianne
McCallum as they travelled to
Dayton, Ohio to attend the funeral of
a long-time family friend, Mary
Yost.
It was also a sad time for Marilyn
McDonald as she and son Bruce
McDonald attended the funeral of
son in law, Paul Flaxbard's mother,
in Zurich. Paul is married to
daughter Cathy.
Andrew Van Vliet is not so happy
these days as his hockey career is on
hold for six to eight weeks because
of a badly broken arm. He plays for
the Triple AAA Huron Perth Lakers
PeeWee team and broke the arm
during ,a game.
McGavin Farm Equipment and
Farm Supply employees had their
Christmas party on Saturday
evening at the Brussels, Morris and
Grey Community Centre along with
many other businesses. There were
approximately 16 employees and
their guests as well as the McGavin
families. An enjoyable meal and
evening was had by all.
Visiting with Don and Monique
Baan and family on the weekend
were Monique's brother John and
wife Jody. Also joining them on
Sunday were other members of
Monique's family including John
and Julia Vanostaayen, her parents
and sister Linda and James. They
were all on hand to help celebrate
little Emma's birthday. She will be
two on Dec. 14.
Chris Lee spent the weekend in
Toronto at the International Bike
Show. He was there to promote the
Transcan in Walton in August.
The Walton Hall board held its
euchre tournament last week with
only six tables of players. The lucky
first-place winners were Norine
Park and Clarence Hoy with 86
points. The second place couple
were Lavern and Greta Hoegy with
75 points and third place pair
winners were Bea Stoll and Betty
Hulle5r The lucky lone hand winners
were Marjorie Smith and Wayne
Robinson. There will be one more
euchre on Dec. 19 before Christmas
and hopefully a few more will he
attending.
The Hall board was also busy on
Saturday as well. The Vista Villa
Farms, Robinson family held their
employee Christmas party at the
hall. They enjoyed a lovely dinner
prepared by members of the Hall
board and then enjoyed a social
evening of games and visiting. They
had decorated the hall with lovely
Christmas trees and greenery and it
looked very festive.
The Walton Hall is available for
rent for many smaller type functions
and information about the hall can
be obtained by calling 887-6735.
The falling of all this snow has the
