The smallest pet was •a turtle own- ed by Erin Lee which possibly was o winner that snuck away from the mobile turtle stable at Gala days, This was something new. Kevin Lee's gold fish got a prize for the smallest "you've read it" feet. The black cat of Jacqueline Cornelis was the spookiest and cat owners Kelly -Jo Robinson and Aaron Morlegs split,in the most original categories. David Lee with his unusual pet Mr. Crayfish came a winner in his unusual division. If you have an im- agination and be a judge at a pet show than you might see a gold fish being cute.

Those in attendance were entertained with a sing song, harmonica playing, a reading and a solo. Ted and Ruth who operated the general store for many years, receiv- ed a microwave and cookbook, a brass floor lamp and a plate with their picture embossed on it. They seemed very pleased with their gifts and party. Ted and Ruth were usually one of the first people to greet newcomers to the community and always made them feel so -welcome. They have been a very caring ana tnougnttul couple who have made a special and dedicated effort to please people. A cheerful greeting and a pleasant smile was extended to everyone entering the store. Many years of long and hard hours and special orders to place never diminished their kindness nor their sense of humour. A "closed" sign on the door rarely meant that the store was really dos- ed but the the Insley's were having dinner or just sitting a spell and would continue to fill orders over the phone and put little packages outside the door. A very remarkable and dedicated couple who are truly going to be miss- ed for a long time.
