THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 2006. It was a wonderful time at the Walton Hall for a Well-Wishing Christmas variety show featuring Walton's local talent. • The afternoon started off with emcee Neil McGavin introducing the Mitchell family. Mom, Marie played the piano with daughter Sarah, then Emily played. Grandma Phyllis, Jamie and Sean Mitchell Duff's • service starts with a ban Members and friends of Duff's United Church were greeted by Murray and Olene Dennis, and a bang at Sunday's service. The Christmas tree at the front of the sanctuary fell over causing a mess just before the service began. I t was a little excitement for the beginning of the first Advent service of hope and the hanging of the greens. The Advent candle was lit by Monique, Ryan and Adam Baan. The children of the Sunday school and leaders were • a big part of conducting the service. Gail Clarkson's meditation was entitled Unpacking Guatemala — Hope. She spoke of her time in Guatemala during November and of her return. The offering was collected by Robert Glanville and Ron McCallum. The Sunday school still has some Rheo Thompson mint smoothies available. This Sunday, Dec. 10, is white gift Sunday and the gifts and non- perishable food items will be given to the Huron County Christmas Bureau. The sanctuary looks very festive thanks to the efforts of the Sunday school parents who decorated last week. The community choral night is at Brussels United Church on Dec. 10 at 7 p.m. The supper committee met on Wednesday evening to discuss the turkey supper and any changes to the prices for catering. The recommendations will be taken to the UCW meeting. The UCW is looking for a secretary to start Jan. 1.

Ryan Baan played %some Christmas carols on the piano and Graeme Craig sang a Christmas carol. Margaret Mclnroy read two different Christmas readings that were quite entertaining and Phyllis Mitchell played a couple of waltzes on the violin. A very entertaining skit entitled The Hat Story, featuring Neil McGavin and Jack McLachlin brought some side-splitting laughter from the crowd. A surprise addition to the afternoon entertainment was young Matthew Campbell singing Spiderman. Marie McGavin then led a short Christmas sing-a-long prior to the arrival of Santa Claus who handed out candy canes to the children in attendance. All in all it was a nice afternoon with cookies, coffee and cider provided by the Hall board members and helpers Kathleen Williamson and Marg Bennett. The donations received are going to more Hall upgrades. Enjoying quite the weekend was Kevin Wilbee. He was at the Liberal leadership convention in Montreal as co-youth chair for the Scott Brison campaign. It was an exciting time and learning experience for him. A trio of Lees spent an exciting weekend Friday and Saturday in Toronto. They were at the promoters' meeting of the Canadian Motocross Racing Corn. Brett Lee was the chairman. Discussions were held on the past and coming year's events. Saturday evening they attended the supercross 'held at the Rogers Centre where over 25,000 fans watched the action. Celebrating Christmas was the McGavin business. Brian and Shelley hosted the staff at their home prior to travelling to the Blyth Inn for dinner and to enjoy the comedy entertainment of Yuk, Yuks. They had a great time and enjoyed the show and evening of Christmas cheer. Returning from a week-long trip to Florida were Clint and Judy Emmrich. They enjoyed nice weather and a relaxing week. We send condolences to the family of Jim Mann who passed away suddenly. Congratulations to Malinda Johnston who celebrated her 90th 'birthday in the Terrace Room at Wingham and District Hospital. Former Waltoner Lin Steffler celebrated two milestones this past week. She celebrated her 60th birthday and her retirement from the Huron Perth Catholic School Board. A party was held at Seaforth Legion with many well wishers in attendance. Congratulations to Matt Shortreed and Julie Moffat on their engagement. It's deer hunting season again this week, so watch out for deer on the road. It's a little colder weather this week for the hunters, but there's a lot less corn for the deer to hide in. Jeanne Kirkby has her son and hunter friends staying at her home. FROM WALTON
