Canada Agcna Member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association and the Ontario Community Newspapers Association letters to the editor Dungannon Ag. Society appreciates support of community year-round Dear Editor, We would like to recognize anyone who has contributed in anyway, for the year 2016 with The Dungannon Agricultural Society. We are blessed to live in a community where local busi- nesses and residents are so will- ing to support the work and events held by us. This past year there were many dart and card tourna- ments, dances, community sup- pers, a baseball tournament, a Farmers Christmas Party, the Super Pull and of course our annual Family & Fun Fair Days in August. These are only some of the events which were held at the hall and grounds. There were also many work bees: building repairs, cleaning, gar- dening, grass cutting, meetings, meal planning, shopping, food prep, etc. The list goes on and on of all the work that needs to be done to be able to host these community events and to keep the hall and grounds maintained. Our local businesses, farming community, the municipality and many locals have always Reader impressed by tribute to trucker Dear Editor, On Sunday, Nov 27 I was in Lucknow having breakfast with a friend. When we were leaving I saw a dozen show quality heavy trucks assembled on a vacant lot one street over. "Cool," I thought. "A truck show:' We went over for a look. Everyone was gathered around a mint red and white single axle from the 60's, which had a sign on the front that read "Hub." I asked if this was a truck show, and a lady explained that their been financially generous to help out when they can. Volunteers are said to be as the back -bone of our communi- ties. These people are constantly ready and willing to contribute their own personal time, talents and energy just to help make a successful project or event, or get some much needed work done. Some of these people are always present, some help with a specific event and some just jump right in if they are at an event and see a job that needs to be done. A simple bit of recognition is friend Hub had passed away, and that they were going to con- voy to a celebration of his life at the Legion. Now I never knew Hub, but I learned three things about him in a few moments, a) that he took great pride in his iron, b) never enough for the never end- ing support we receive time and time again. If you have donated finan- cially or volunteered with us this past year, please know your kindness is always appreciated. If you have attended our events, please know that your presence is always appreciated. Without you all, we would not be. A very Merry Christmas to you all, and many blessings for 2017. Dungannon Agricultural Society that people really loved him, and c) that he had really great friends. I was deeply moved by your gesture. My sympathy on the loss of your friend. Tom Joyes Secondary Resources LUCKNOW NEWS Merry Christmas to all from Lucknow News' Ruth Dobrensky Ruth Dobrensky The Lucknow Sepoy Ranees held a pot -luck Christmas sup- per last week. We had a great evening and enjoyed some really great food. One of our members had been away in Arizona but arrived back just in time to join us for a fantastic meal and a great time. Unfortunately, sev- eral members were ill or away and couldn't join in the festivi- ties, but we wish them a Merry Christmas and hope to see them at our gathering in the new year. The Lucknow Rumoli Club also met the same evening for our December/Christmas meeting. But as I was hosting the Red Hat event, I couldn't be with my Rumoli group. I'm sure they all had a good time and wish them all a happy Christ- mas as well. Is it just me, but it seems that we here in Lucknow have to wait a lot longer in the morn- ings for the streets to be plowed than we used to. I always thought the idea was for the snow plows to be as early as possible, to get the streets and roads cleaned, so that people could get out to work and school. But then, who am I, and everyone else who wonders as I do? It seems that everyone is out finishing up their Christmas shopping and all the churches are preparing their Christmas Eve and Christmas Day ser- vices. I still have a few small gifts to take care of and hope that despite the delays around my place due to my recent ill- ness, that I get some Christmas decorations up before Christmas. At this special time of year, my little family consisting of myself and my two four -legged children, Smokey and George V, want to wish everyone and their four -legged children, a very blessed and Merry Christmas.
