For the first time on
June 17, the Dungannon
Seniors Hall committee
held their potluck in the
evening, rather than the
usual lunch meal. This
particular one featured a
sing -along and a jam to
attract a crowd.
Barb Smyth explained
that the potlucks are held
to give the Dungannon
Seniors Hall a financial
boost. The time was
changed to allow more
people to attend, as many
people work in the daytime.
The time change worked as
there was an excellent
turn -out.
Irene Markham was glad
to see a good turnout. She is
pleased that they always get
good support from the com-
munity. This particular
night Markham observed,
"There are a lot of different
people than the usual
crowd."
Harpist Riley MacLen-
nan played harp as people
arrived at the hall. There
was more food than those
in attendance could eat
for the meal. Following
the meal, Anne Pritchard
passed out song booklets,
played the keyboard and
led a lively singalong. The
evening finished with a
greatly enjoyed jam fea-
turing Tom Melady and
the group that plays at the
jams held in Seaforth,
with Marvin Scott as MC.
Guest musicians who
joined in included 3 -yr -
old Jaxson Scott, Kayla
Bishop on fiddle and
Valerie Gillies.
Markham thanks all of the
entertainers who were cred-
ited as the reason why so
many people turned out
and for making it such an
enjoyable evening. The next
potluck will be held on the
third Wednesday of
September.
