More letters on page 8 Thumbs up to the Focus Dear Editor I wanted to thank Lynn Campbell and the Focus on Scugog magazine for sharing my 90th birthday adventure. I mailed a copy to a friend in Syracuse and it made it’s way from there to Oswego N.Y. to a niece I had not heard from for about 6 years. She phoned the Focus, who in turn called me directly and we are now reunited. Great job Focus!!! Bev Gallagher Fantastic fair once again this year Dear Editor On behalf of the Port Perry Agricultural Society, I would like to thank the Port Perry community and visitors from beyond for making this year’s Port Perry Fair the best ever. It is because of you that it was a success. Thank you for participating in our contests and attending our entertainment shows. Our sponsors, vendors, exhibitors, volunteers, and our own board of directors all worked together to provide a fantastic fun weekend. Even the weather co-operated! Special kudos to our new secretary-treasurer, who was learning on the job. We had a wonderful turnout, and received compliments from all areas of the fair. Thank you again, and anyone who would like to get involved for next year’s fair is encouraged to visit our website, portperryfair.com, and follow the contact links. Margaret Taylor-Sevier President, Port Perry Agricultural Society Kendall Cemetery - Utica Dear Editor Having received a photograph of the sign recently erected at the Kendall Cemetery, I express my thanks to the Board and all those involved in this endeavour and my appreciation to Hillis and Carol Wilbur for their years of dedication to the care of the place. The sign, crafted by Clarence Wilcock, a local artisan, gives it a special significance. Donald George Kendall, Orillia Sincere thanks for your support Dear Editor The Friendly Vendors Market would like to say thank you to the town of Port Perry for their amazing hospitality, support, patronage, referrals and all the kind words that came our way. It was a first for us, and a first of its kind for the town. We have learned a lot and have plans for next year to make this even better! Special thanks goes out to: Focus on Scugog; you girls have been amazing towards us; The Standard, you girls were awesome too; the BIA for their support with this venture; Stacy and Sandra Millar for taking a chance on a new concept and opening their building to us, and all our vendors. Some started as friends and remain so, others we met along the way and hope to continue the friendship. It has been a great ride and your product helped make it so. Finally, all the residents of Port Perry, we have enjoyed meeting you and cannot wait to see you again next year! We were a “pop up” store with plans of being temporary. Now that we have finished, it’s hard to believe it’s over. We can’t wait until next year and hope to see you all when we “pop up” again! Sincerely, Tom, Pat, Janet, Mike, all of our vendors and Lucy too! NEW LIFE CENTRE CorrectionS On page 27 of last month’s issue, paragraph three refers to eight family doctors and should have been seven. The last paragraph reads ‘Sandra Carrier holds popular weekend courses to coach expectant mothers and their partners’. That should have read, holds popular ‘six week courses’, not weekend courses. On page 29, the first column, third paragraph reads 39 weeks and should read 36 weeks. Focus on Scugog apologizes for any inconvenience or confusion this may have caused.
