MAYFAIR ‑ Sad news for our hamlet that a longtime resident, 66-year-old Mitchell Kotelko, has passed away. Condolences to his three children who live within a 100-mile radius. His funeral was held in Mayfair Community Hall April 9. Muriel, his wife, passed away awhile back.
Mayfair Hall will be buzzing with a large crowd of people Saturday, April 16 as the Thickwood Hills Fish Fry is back in action after been postponed because of COVID. Supper is at 6 p.m. Admission is $15 per person and children 12 and under can eat free. There will be memberships for sale, door prizes and a 50/50 draw. Come join an evening out with great food.
I'm another decade older now. Age sure creeps up on us whether we like it or not. I hosted a few of my friends in my trailer park and neighbours on my block for an afternoon celebration. Mary, 93, who plays tunes from in the 1930s '40s and '50s, was a big hit with everyone. I make meals for her a couple times a week as she is legally blind.
Wishing everyone a cheerful, religious Easter with family gatherings and good fellowship. Grocery outlets have sold an abundance of hams as usual but this year it's a larger celebration because during the last two we were still living in a bubble with the threat of COVID-19.
