Just the other day,
a lady (who wishes to remain anonymous) dropped me a line with a very tempting suggestion that I thought I should pass along..
..I am old enough to recall Canada’s Centennial in 1967.  Back then, many families planned a family centennial project which they could work on all year.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if the people in our town had their own personal projects?  And maybe, these ideas could be shared and compared.  Maybe a link  could be added to the website, so  families could share with others what their families were doing.
Well my mind is already a-flutter with ideas.
I could make a scrapbook of 100 things that happened to us this year.
I could plant 100 roses in my yard (I probably wouldn't do this one)
I could  plant a centennial flower bed (incidentally Communities in Bloom is asking everyone to plant red and gold flowers this year)
I could make a 100 cards
I could make a list of 100 nice things to say
I could bake 100 cookies (okay, that's not a good idea, cause I'd be tempted to eat them)
I could sew a quilt with 100 squares.

Do you get the idea. 
What could you do, as a centennial project?

100 Years of Yesterday

Message from the Chair

I'm beginning to feel like I'm on a carousel, going round and round. I can see the golden ring, and I can almost grasp it.

And that's about how things are coming together with our Centennial Celebration.

There are a couple of events that are happening in February,

the Ghostpine Ladies are having a Centennial Valentine's Day Tea on the 14th,

the town is sponsoring  Centennial Family Day Celebration with Free swimming and skating.

 

There is a display in the window of Alsite Travel showcasing some of what is happening in the next month.

This display is also home to volunteer forms and  "Head for the Hills" postcards.

 

If you have loved ones coming for the July Celebration I would urge you to book accommodations now.

Rooms are filling up fast.  I guess someone (might have been me) let it slip that it will be a weekend to remember,

 with  Trooper, The Emeralds, and a host of local entertainers on hand to ensure that there is something to please everyone.
