A i ce et Cheeta oo a i ee SRN RRR ul 18 - PORT PERRY STAR - Wednesday, August, 5, 1992 "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" It may have rained on their Teddy Bear's Picnic, but there were still a lot of happy campers at the Scugog Shores Museum last Friday. That ever-present July drizzle forced the Pioneer Day Camp picnic inside, where food and games were enjoyed by all. This year's camp was so suc- cessful that a third week has been added. It is open to children aged six to 10 for the week of August 11-14. The camp is held weekday mornings from 9 a.m. to noon, and the cost is $25 per child, which includes a daily snack and all craft supplies. Parents interested in registering their children are asked to call the museum at 985-3589.

Lake Scugog Regatta a delightful time for Caesarea residents Nestleton, Caesarea) by Mabel Cawker A Leaving behind the wettest July for many years; now the brand new month of August is ushered in, - and so far we have had plenty of rain; a torrential rain on Sunday evening. One worries about the crops in the area. Our farmers must be con- cerned! Usually a person feels August is an enjoyable month, warm with starry evenings, sort of between summer and fall, when we have the colorful hues everywhere! Family Concerns Friends Gloria Wilson of Oshawa, and Neta Fish, Cad- mus Road, spent an enjoyable day visiting with Mrs. Jane Wil- son of Sebright, with reminisc- ing a highlight! Neta Fish, visited Doug Fish and Marion Short of Manilla, went to Sunderland Decoration Day Service, later enjoying din- ner at Haugen's Barbecue Res- taurant at Manchester, and then called on Heather Munroe of Sonya, and was overnight guest with Doug and Marion, - returning home on Monday. A refreshing change of pace in a busy world! The Sam Cawkers were pleased during the week to have Alan and Eleanor Cawker and their granddaughters Bronwyn and "Madison Cawker of Oshawa for the tea hour at the farmstead. The cattle were the main attraction for the small fry! A Barbecue Enjoyed Holiday weekend guests with Lawrence and Gwen Malcolm of Nestleton, were Barry and Joan Malcolm, Emily and Paul of Simcoe. There were 26 family members present for a barbecue meal. The highlight of the day was the portable whirlpool spa supplied by son David and en- joyed by young and old alike! A great get-to-gether for the fami- ly. Happy Birthday to a good friend Edda Bowman of St. Christopher's Beach - she cele- brated Aug. 3 with husband Russell and daughter Pat Cor- nell taking her to the "Granary" at Bethany for a lovely dinner. Our best wishes to Edda for a fine year ahead! The Sam Cawkers were de- hghted to have as guests on Sunday, daughter-in-law, Syl- via Cawker and her daughter Chandre of Scarborough, and a new friend Sylvia Herman of Toronto. A day of fun and relax- ation. Deepest sympathy goes out to Mrs. Jane Boyes of Carnduff, Sask. in the loss of her daughter Muriel, who fought a coura- geous battle against cancer.

Lake Scugog Regatta The 60th annual Lake Scugog Regatta and Field Day is now history, and by all reports a fine success. For three days, Aug. 1,2, and 3, Caesarea was one very eventful place for young and old alike. Golf, parades, beauty contest, special field events, horseshoe, swimming, etc. - it had to be a WOW! It all started in 1932, the oldest I be- lieve in Canada, and still going strong! With our MP for Durham, Ross Stevenson, present for the opening preliminaries, Lake Scugog Regatta and Field Day was a successful event. The vil- lage came alive with activity for all ages. The noon luncheon was a culinary delight, hosted by president Albert and Aileen Putsey, at their home, assisted by Caesarea ladies. Many deli- cious meat dishes, sandwiches, various kinds of lovely salads, hot dogs, topped off with excel- lent coffee, and later an assort- ment of tasty desserts were en- joyed immensely, seated at tables on the lawn. A freindly, delightful occassion! In this fashion our old friend Len Prout introduced us to many Caesar- ea people - Harry and Ruth Gay, Morgan Sears, Bruce and Gla- dys Lawrie, Ruth Pearce and Linda Hughes. (Sorry Doris Prout broke her hip in the win- ter, but is doing well we are glad to hear.) The children's events in Put- sey Park really added up to a great afternoon watching the small fry perform, with their parents proudly keeping an eye on them. Len Prout - an old pro - was at the mike. A "pat on the back" to presi- dent Albert Putsey, wife Aileen, secretary Frances Binns, Bruce Lawrie, Len and Doris Prout, and all who had a part re: plan- ning the great weekend. Albert and Aileen Putsey were presented with a scenic picture at the waterfront, of the first Regatta 60 years ago. A de- lightful surprise! The colorful T-shirts with many wearing them was a good advertisment for the Regatta. We wouldn't have missed it for anything! Glad we could make it. Our warmest congratula- tions on a splendid Regatta.
