Canada Day Success!

Canada Day Celebrations was a huge success at the BCC. Record crowds enjoyed Monster Truck Ridesin the Bucking Bronco, pony rides from Ralph Pearson and family. Adults and children were able to learn more about the stars in the Planetarium brought to the Centre by John Crossen of Buckhorn Observatory. Ed Longaville helped children use the potters wheel to create their own piece of pottery to take home.

Garage sales, jewelry, stain glass, clothes and information booths filled the pavilions throughout the park.

The 50/50 raffle ticket is still unclaimed -- check your pockets -- Green ticket #5678405 is worth more than $200. Please call the Centre at 705.657.8833 if you have the ticket!

Warrant Officer Murray Robertson, Corp. Jack Bennett, Corp Kenton Dill, Corp Shawn Stafford from CFB Pettawawa brought a "Coyote" armed forces vehicle. The vehicle was on display and visitors were invited to take a look inside, a treat for all.

Warrant Office Robertson presented Judy McWhirter with a plaque thanking the community of Buckhorn for their generosit in sending packages to the troops overseas. Way to go, Buckhorn!

It took many volunteers to make this day a success, they did a great job! The Canada Day Committee consisted of Judy McWhirter, Roger Clark, Sue Swankie, Diane Skinner, Diane Michell, Peggy and Don Roberts, and Shirley Logan. Thanks to Bob Swankie, Roger Clark and Rob McWhirter for setting off the fireworks and Galway, Cavendish and Harvey Fire Department for their assistance in keeping the area safe.

See you next year!
