Lucknow News for May 11 Ruth Dobrensky Lucknow News Yesterday was Mother's Day and many were able to celebrate with their mothers. Here's a late happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. This past weekend, the McQuail's held their annual open house at their Meeting Place Organic Farm. They always have a good crowd out to sample their wonderful products, buy heirloom plants and take in a horse drawn wagon ride. I especially like to see what great plants and preserves they have to offer for sale. A good reminder to all garden- ers out there, including me, was in last week's paper, go see your doctor to update your tetanus shot. If you take care of your shots, they will take care of you when you cut yourself on a rusty piece of wire or tool. Yard sale season is definitely upon us. Lucknow held our town wide sale recently, this past week- end, Auburn held theirs, Wingham is holding theirs in a couple of weeks. If you couldn't find that special treasure at one of these and many others around the area, you'll just have to keep looking. But not to worry, there will be lots of yard sales over the summer and that treasure is out there waiting for you to find it. The Lucknow Horticultural Soci- ety is holding their soup and sand- wich fundraiser today at the Town Hall. If you read this before you have your lunch, you have until 1 p.m. to get to there and help them out. I noticed with great interest the notice in last weeks paper about the nuisance fine bylaw passed recently for Huron -Kinloss. All those caught will be fined $250, the list of offences includes littering and the charges could be higher if repair costs are required to pay for damages.
