TAY CAMP UPDATE – STILL TIME TO JOIN US ON AUGUST 11 By Kathleen LeBlanc Tay Day Camp has certainly been an adventure - From start to finish! We've all experienced days filled with laughter and activities, ranging from science experiments, to baking competitions, to visits from a horse! It seems the community spirit that emanates from the whole Taymouth area has been reignited in the young people, which always a good thing to see. It's not too late to join us! Seven of our eight days have already been enjoyed, however, Thursday will be just as exciting. Join us from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm for Day Camp, and then parents and children are invited to the TCC at 6:00 pm to showcase all that we have done together. Hope to see everyone there! For more information, contact Kathleen: [email protected] A big thank you to Pam Allen-LeBlanc and her husband, Pierre LeBlanc, for transporting Kathleen’s horse, Star, to the Taymouth Community Centre to meet 17 excited Tay Day Campers. For those interested in information on the riding lessons offered by Pam see the attached pdf. Photos attached.

The chicken barbecue dinner was postponed until Sunday due to the weather. Sam and Charlene Johnston and Keith Munn serenaded us - it’s always nice to have some live music. Fresh veggies at market today at June and Stuart Douglass's table as well as Fred McLellan's. Yum! Sherman Stone had free range fresh eggs plus great home baked items from several vendors. Kenneth White won the $5.00 market voucher and his Mother Katherine Sullivan won the weekly raffle that was generously donated by Amy Estey. Next Market is August 20th 9:00 am to 12:30 pm.
