Club hosting picnic

The Wheatley River 4-H Club is hosting a free family Canada 150 picnic today at the Wheatley River Hall (Rackhams’s Lane).

Youth in the area, as well as newcomers and their families, are invited to experience an oldtime picnic and fun afternoon, 2-4 p.m., with old-fashioned games, a display of 4-H projects and project-related hands-on activities such as learning about rabbits, trying cake decorating or making a craft.

A small display of historical artifacts, especially as they pertain to rural areas, is planned, along with musical entertainment.

The hall is a short stroll away from Rackham’s Pond, and the Wheatley River Improvement Group (WRIG) is planning a nature scavenger hunt.

All welcome to his event which will be held rain or shine. For more information, email wheatleyriver4h@hotmail.com or call 902 -213-0597.
