Embracing communities events is worthwhile

Sometimes it pays to venture out.

Tony Harris and I recently attended the supper at The Forties Community Centre. It was a beautiful drive there, and we were not the only ones wanting to experience it. We arrived at 4:05 p.m. and we were in line as guests 187 and 188. Supper was a delicious roast beef and, as an added bonus in my opinion, was a small container of sauerkraut salad, which was excellent. (And let me tell you, I know my sauerkraut salad!) Desserts were good as well and we saw several other people there from the Valley. We were told people were there from Halifax, Windsor, Bridgewater, and other places.

July 1st celebrations in the Town of Berwick are coming up. The town is having a “red chair” challenge for the holiday, but entries need to be out by June 27. So, if you look around town and see a lot of red, you will know what is going on. Celebrations take place from noon to 2 p.m. at the town hall front entrance on Canada Day. There will be a bouncy castle, face painting, cake, musical entertainment and more.
