Jim and Fran Farrell and Diane Clifford enjoyed a few days
touring to Temiskaming for IPM 2009 at Earlton early last week. There
were many folks from Bruce County at the Match and all were impressed
with the displays and events there. Beautiful countryside too!
Rob and Carolyn Farrell and family of Rockwood, Carmen Farrell and Sarah
Smitgens celebrated Farrell birthdays on Saturday after the fair at Jim
and Fran's.
Fran and Carmen Farrell visited on Sunday with Derk Logtenberg who is in
Goderich Hospital at this time.
Get well wishes to all in hospital and who are ill at this time.
Once again, Ripley held an excellent fair with a huge turnout and ended
the day with the Square Dancing Tractors from Teeswater. Congratulations
to all the volunteers, competitors, visitors and committees that make
the Ripley Fall Fair what it is. See you again next year.
