Grand opening
Dear Editor:
Jan. 18 saw the grand opening of Riverside Events Centre at 500 Blair St. in Fergus.
The former Legion hall has had significant upgrades over the past few months with a new stage, bar, lighting and a universal washroom. The facility was tastefully decorated for the opening by Cobblestone Creations, with examples of a wedding, seasonal décor and a business meeting. Tasty finger foods were graciously supplied by Fraberts Fresh Food of Fergus.
Special guests included Wellington-Halton Hills MPP Joseph Racinsky, Centre Wellington Mayor Shawn Watters, and past president of Ontario Command of the Royal Canadian Legion Derek Moore. All expressed the need for such community facilities, especially with the rapid growth in population in Centre Wellington.
Those in attendance were impressed with what the centre has to offer. For those who could not make it, please feel free to drop by during business hours, take a brochure and have a look around.
A very special thanks to all the community businesses that helped bring Riverside Events Centre to reality, providing a local, affordable option for a special event.
Randy Graham,
President, RCL Branch 275 Fergus
