"Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" ~ -------- Hope the rain holds off for the Ratepayers yard sale Caesarea Ratepayers Yard Sale The big news this week is that our yard sale is coming this Saturday, June 9. Let's hope this time that it doesn't rain. We have quite a number of items on hand, but we could use some baking for the baked goods table. Be sure to come out and give us your support. The mem- bers feel that we have had two years of great achievement here in the village. See you Saturday. We'd also like to thank all those who signed the petition to keep the transfer station open. The Nonquon Well, the 33rd annual Nonquon has gone into the his- tory book as one great success. Last year 101 canoes registered, this year it was 92. | believe that those who had to drive a long distance looked at Saturday morning's weather and decided to forego the outing. The com- mittee is very pleased with the results, but it's too early for a financial report yet. The com- puters and the large wall screen kept everyone up to date on the race times. We should also give credit to our ad sponsors and to those who donated gifts. There were over 50 prizes from which to make a selection. A special thanks to Mayor Doug Moffatt and Ken Gadsden who not only completed the race, but brought in the greatest number of pledges. All money CAESAREA 3 - 8 ,-4 Albert Putsey goes to support the Scugog Shores Museum on Scugog Island. Now, we can put every- thing away and plan for next year.
