Then we had a lovely meal prepared by AJ – we’ve been many times and always the same thing…. lovely atmosphere and people, and great food. We have never had a bad meal here. Let’s keep this friendly little business busier so they stick around for a long time to come. Bev Giglio, Port Perry Soup for Thought Dear Editor I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those Focus readers and Scugog citizens who attended the 5th Annual DCAF Soup for Thought event last month. The event was a success due in large part to our main sponsor, Vos’ Independent and our 9 participants who go above and beyond to bring together such diverse and delicious fare each year. Special thanks go out, as well, to our judges, Bobbie Drew, Andrea Neufeld and Annie Gray, who awarded their choice to Willowtree Farm (Who knew beets could taste that good, huh?). Mostly, though, I want to thank our attendees who show up to pick a bowl, taste the soups and, as an added bonus, help make the dream of a post secondary education possible for a youth in foster care. Incredible. This year, we have $7,245 to add to the pot. It means a lot.
