Perry’s Country dance group is hosting an event to re- member at the Scugog Community Centre on Reach Street. Mark January 17th on your calendar and make sure you get tickets, as they will be going fast. Stewart Ben- nett will take on the role of Robbie Burns and transform himself into the life of the great poet. This will be followed by the traditional address to a Haggis and then a full roast beef dinner. Dancing (not just Scottish Country) will take us into the wee hours of the morning. Country dancing is a great way to exercise and stay fit. It not only keeps you physically active, but you have a great mental workout as well in remembering the steps. Although the majority of members are Scottish it is not a pre-requisite and anyone can join. If you are a novice, Sep- tember is the best time to connect. That’s when the group starts with easy steps. If you have danced in the past you can join at ai Scottish dancing is one of the few activities which can be done with your partner or on your own. In fact, tradi- tionally you only dance the first and last dance with your spouse. Many people come single and it is not uncommon for women to dance with women, when the numbers do not balance. For those of you who wish to join this group of fun lov- ing exercisers or to obtain tickets to the Robbie Burns Ball call 905.649.3532 or drop by the Wee Tartan Shop ¢ or Books Galore and More and get ready for a grrrreat tim Jor nathan o van Bilsen Focus on Scugog PROPERTY OWNERS AWARENESS What you need to know about Private Snow Removal The Township of Scugog Refuse and Snow GZ Removal By-Law regulate the removal of snow a1 ice rom sidewalks and the disposal of snow ond ice ways. nines are some regulations you need to know when removing snow and ice this, .
