"A Family Tradition for 127 Years" a eet ttn Be 3 Blackstock News Joyce Kelly na A . - a tea EA a A, RR 2 Ce Fs EE The Village of Blackstock has been greatly changed when Harold and Melanie Wright moved their feed business from the former Marlow Feed Mill to their new location on Highway 7A just north of the village this past week. They also changed the name of their business from H. & M. Feeds to Wright's Feeds 'N Needs. Best wishes to the Wrights on their new loca- tion. How many years is it since Blackstock did not have a feed store and, previously the eleva- tor, in the centre of town? Per- haps someone can give me some historical background of this site. Merrill and Jean Van Camp returned home from a visit in the Vancouver area with Marie and Bob Attfield, Jamie, Mark rand Scott. They also visited rel- atives in Kelowna and in Peach- land, B.C. Octoberfest provided a great time for everyone who attended this annual event. The music, the food and the atmosphere all joined for the very unique eve- ning. Some of the students that I missed listing in last week's col- umn were: Angie Vehof who is in second year of Law and Se- curity at Durham College; Jen- nie Oosterholt who is in second year at Durham College in Pub- lic Relations; Lisa Duchemin has returned to her third year in Honors Science at University and Jill Van Camp who isin her second year at Queen's in Occu- pational Therapy. My apologies to these students and their par- ents - I just misplaced their names. Best wishes to you in your studies.
