The Lucknow Legion
Branch 309 held their 2015
Canada Day Fish Fry on
Wednesday, July 1.
Following a vey rainy
Summerfest the previous
weekend, it was refreshing to
have a rain -free day on Can-
ada Day. George Adams of
Brussels Legion was the
main cook. He commented
that the weather "couldn't
have been better for cooking.
It didn't rain and it was not
too hot."
Wayne Phillips, one of the
many satisfied diners said,
"I'm glad the sun finally
showed up for supper. It
turned out to be a good
day."
Betty Stanley was decked
out in her Canada Day attire
to man the door. She said of
the event, "It's good. We are
sold out, plus more?'
There was nothing but
praise for the meal, itself.
Tracy Van Osch
exclaimed, "The meal was
fantastic and nobody had to
cook!" At least no one at the
table had to.
Ruth Dobrensky
declared that it was the
"best fish in town", to
which Joan Robinson
added it was "an elegant
sufficiency". It was
explained that this had
been Robinson's mother's
well-known response at
meals, a bit of an inside
joke with those at the
table. They were enjoying
reminiscing about past
dinners together in Luc -
know through the years. It
was agreed that meals like
this are as much for the
community to get together
to socialize as to eat out.
When asked for their
thoughts on Canada Day,
the meal or the event,

wan and Marg and Wayne

than individual comments.
Together they decided the
best way to sum it all up
was, "Canada is a great
country to live in. The food
is terrific. It is nice that the
Legion puts this on every many Canada D a y
year." The group agreed Fish Fries at the
that they have not missed Lucknow Legion.
