PORT PERRY STAR - Wednesday, September 6, 20Q0 - 23 School buses, chilly nights: All signs point to Fall Pine Ridge Garden Club This weekend saw the closing of the Exhibition for another year, school buses starting their daily run with the children to our schools and with a drop in tem- perature everything seems nor- mal to get ready for the coming fall season. The garden club meeting was Tuesday, Sept. 5 and Shirley Love is anxious to get the remainder of seats filled for our annual trip to the Royal Winter Fair. Yes, it seems a long way off but the weeks trickle by so quickly and plans must be made in advance 'for the number of buses needed and reservations at the Mandarin Restaurant for our return trip home. You'll take a box lunch with you or stop at one of the fast food places there for the noon hour snack. Bus leaves Nestleton at 9 a.m. and Port Perry at 9:30 a.m. Call Shirley for more informa- tion at 986-5330. Blackstock Lions This Wednesday the Lions start up with their three meetings a month plus all the other activi- ties they get involved with. We ask all farmers to remember we have farmers night coming up this fall. All we need to know is when the Federal Minister of Agriculture can get to Blackstock and we can then set the date. At our last meeting we hadn't heard anything from the Terry Fox Albert Putsey Run slated for Sept. 17. We usual- ly cook the hot dogs and ham- burgers there. We send birthday greetings to Lion Cliff Trapp, Sept. 10; Lion Ken Lee, Sept. 13 and Lion Ernie Swain on Sept. 16. Remember it's cheese order week and I'll see you all at our dinner meeting this Wednesday. Lake Scugog Historical Meeting Members were busy at the Blackstock Fair with their exhibit and paid special tribute to the late Bill Ferguson who was an out- standing member of the past. I was unable to attend the Port Perry Fair, consequently I didn't see the society stand there.
