Maybe it was the cool weather. On Saturday, July 7th, the Nestleton Communi- ty celebrated the 10th an- niversary of their Com- munity Centre with a gala Bicentennial Day. In spite of cooler weather the various events prov- ed interesting to those who participated or watched. Ball games, horshoe pitching and log sawing was popular. The greas- ed Pig Contest was disappointing as the pig was too bewildered by all the attention to run. At 3:45 p.m. the Flag Raising Ceremony took place. Warren Rohrer, Chairman of the Rec Committee was M.C. assisted by Norma Frew, President of the Women's Institute. Allan Lawrence MP, Ross Stevenson MPP and Mayor Jerry Taylor were present and took part.
