One of my favourite moments was watching the Creasys, the Millers and the Ways go by on their tractors with hay, or without hay, but always with a smile and a wave! Going into 2016, I am excited about the opportunity to further grow the business. A long overdue renovation in the school house is now under way including repairing the original maple floors with local milled wood (Did you know Trevor Miller is a Miller!) I wonder if the original floor was made from maple milled near by? My goal this year is to make the little patio out front a comfortable place for local residents to stop by sometimes and have a visit, a cold beer or a meal. The patio was made with the help of our neighbours pulling out overgrown bushes (thanks, Trevor!) and the built-up gabion wall from Black River Sand and Gravel (thanks Bill and Mary!). I want to share that space with anyone who needs a little break sometimes. I am honoured to live in this wonderful community and looking forward to a spectacular 2016!
