Newfoundland Dinner/ Dance: Wow!! What a response for this event. Last week we announced Emmie's phone number for the first time and her phone rang off the hook! People called wanting to reserve their tickets and as a result, Emmie was sold out before she knew it. She never expected this response for her first time attempt at organizing a "Newfie Dinner/Dance".

For those who were able to reserve their tickets, mark your calendars for October 20th.

Doors will open at 7 p.m. and a buffet Jigs dinner will follow at 7:30 p.m. Good down home fun with Newfoundland skits during the desserts.

There will be only one door prize....but a good one!!! The fun will end at 1 p.m. We advise that this is for adults only. Entertainment is Fred White & Brenden Gilliam "A Cape Bretener & Newfoundlander", who specialize in Irish/Country/Down East/Rock 'n Roll! The dinner/dance will be held at the South Simcoe Community Centre (Lefroy Arena).
