Dear Editor:
Drayton’s 150th celebration was the best! Three days of activities, music and meals for hundreds each night.
Around 20 children aged five to 13 opened the show wearing white tops with red maple leaf scarves and sang O Canada and the front row even signed it. Wow. Everybody there sang loud and proud!
The ag hall had lots of wonderful history displays and sponsor booths. There was also an antique car show of over 400 beautiful cars and a big parade.
Sunday had a huge church service put on by the ministerial association, so all churches were there and a huge choir.
The directors and many volunteers had everything organized right down to the last minute. So much planning and days and hours of work made for a perfect weekend celebration, plus the weather cooperated.
I saw so many of my old friends, lots of hugs too. I enjoyed every minute of all three days. God bless all of you who worked so hard. You did a wonderful job!
