100 Years of Yesterday
by Chairperson Terry Diack
Mr. Gordon King called me to reminisce about the old Texaco gas station. He recalls stopping there to buy gas quite often. But his most memorable memory was on a Sunday morning. He pulled in behind a car with BC plates. A lady and a couple of young girls were in the car. Mr. King had no idea who they were, until the lady spoke “Are you Mr. King?”
Isn’t it funny how you can not know a person until they speak, and then, you immediately know who they are. The young lady was a former student of Mr. King’s.
I know this warm weather has everyone heading out to buy bedding plants. Please keep in mind that Communities in Bloom has chosen choose red and gold as their colors for the year. Which brings me to a very confusing topic--what are our Centennial Colors? For flowers, we are going with red and gold, but for souvenirs we are sticking with the town colors blue and gold.
So, you could say our Centennial Colors are red, gold & blue (with a hint of purple to honor the Elks--Habitat for Humanity Build)
Ya’ all be heading for the Hills real soon. Or at least that’s what our newly printed Centennial Posters say. We will be plastering the town and surrounding area with them. If you are heading out to another community, stop by Alsite Travel or the Town Office and pick up a couple posters to take with you. We would really appreciate your help.
Speaking of help, please welcome Alex Smith as our Volunteer Co-ordinator. She will be taking on the task of organizing all of our volunteers for the July Weekend. This is a huge task, because we are asking you to volunteer for just a couple of hours on any one day (this will mean, that everyone will still have time to enjoy the weekend) You can pick up your volunteer form at Alsite Travel or the General Store. Please drop off your completed forms at either of the two places or the Town Office.
This weekend --it’s congratulations to the Three Hills High School Centennial Grad Class. I
In closing, my random thought for this week. Do you remember the “Meat Locker” on Main St.?
