Congratulations Harry Adrain!

On Sunday, September 30, Harry Adrain was inducted into the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame!  This is well deserved recognition for one our Westport Native Sons.  And last night, I had the opportunity to represent Council and the Village to make a presentation to Harry at a party being held in his honour.

At this event, which was held at the Legion in Perth, I also saw first hand what being a member of the “ANT” family means – it means there are a whole lot of brothers, sisters, aunties, uncles and on and on who love spending time with each other.  Lucky people!

Congratulations again Harry.

THANK YOU – Westport in Bloom

What an exceptional season of flowers in the Village.  As I walked the dogs this morning and noted that the hanging baskets and flower boxes have been removed, it was even more evident how magnificent they were this year.  The volunteers of Westport in Bloom tend the plants and municipal gardens with such care and attention throughout the summer that people are simply inspired!  The second year of the new banners continue to add the realism of our young people, ensuring their strong presence in the Village.

Thank you for all your hard work.  It is appreciated by all of us who live, work and visit the Village of Westport.

NAME THAT RED DOG! contest

A recent addition to Lockwood Memorial Park in the Village of Westport is a 5 1/2 foot tall “red dog”, donated by a community member.  He is a handsome, fibreglass Great Dane. (I think!).

We are asking for your suggestions on what to call him.  Over the next three weeks, residents, business owners and visitors are encouraged to offer their wisdom on what this fellow should be called.  I have sent a letter and colouring sheets to the schools, encouraging their participation.

On October 19, the NAME THAT RED DOG! contest will close and he will have his forever name.  He hibernates for the winter and will be leaving the park around that time.  It is important to know what to call him before he leaves!

You can email me at rjones@villageofwesport.ca, leave a voice message at 9195 or catch me on the street.  If you are in Town Hall, the staff will also take your suggestions.  Have some fun!

Oh, and by the way – the winner, well – will get a bucket of pride for giving him a name!

Thank you
