MAYFAIR — Easter Day weather didn't disappoint, but gradually in the afternoon, the wind came up. For most, the traditional ham dish, among other great-tasting food, is a tradition. The joy of being together as a family and or friends makes for a happy day.
Our community is mourning the loss of 64-year-old Earl Holmes of Mayfair. His funeral was held on April 17 in the community hall, and there was an excellent crowd who were present, even from a distance. Earl always tried to attend every local function, even when his health was failing. Condolences to the Holmes family.
In early April, the Thickwood Hills Wildlife organization had a " family day" with members who attended a fishing day on a private body of water, which the club stocks with fish. It was a beautiful day to be outdoors, and there was plenty of camaraderie among many members. Great tasting hot dogs roasted over a fire pit were enjoyed. The children burned off their energy by running around in the great outdoors. Betcha not one was tied up on the electronic equipment.
A Mother's Day tea and garden and yard-related sale on Saturday, May 10, in Ruddell Hall. This is slated from 2 to 4 p.m. with coffee/ dessert for $5. Last year, this event was well attended with many driving from different towns to be present. We even drank our beverage from pretty china cups, thus making it a delightful occasion, not to mention all the scrumptious fancy desserts. Mark your calendars, ladies.
The Golenaires Club (seniors’ club) in Hafford are hosting a barbecue on April 25 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Small cost for the food. Everyone is welcome.
Attending a Mother's Day brunch is a good start to this special day, as mothers are recognized. Brunch is May 11 in Hafford. The pancake breakfast is $12/plate, and children four and under are free. There will be Raffle tables, a 50/50 draw and a " paint a flower pot" for the cost of $20.
The Thickwood Hills fish fry this past Saturday was a huge success in Mayfair. I will report on this in next week's paper.
