Chester is going to the Olympics ! Well, Graeme and Jacob Chaplin Saunders
are going to the Olympics. They achieved their dream of sailing in the
2016 Rio Olympics, qualified to compete in the 470 Sailing Class and
have earned a berth on the Canadian Team.
This story started six
years ago which has Graeme and Jacob continuing university, working when
schedules permitted, partnering and finding work with other national
teams with driving and other logistical issues. It is also a story of
family, village residents and local businesses getting involved to help
with expenses, transportation and encouragement.
Help send them off to Rio in style with a community celebration at the Chester Yacht Club from
5 - 7pm this Sunday. Everyone is invited.

Actual questions posed on an international Tourism Canada website answered by cheeky Canadians
Q. Can you give me some information about hippo racing in Canada (USA)
A.
A-fri-ca is the big triangle shaped continent south of Europe. Ca
-na-da is that big country to the north of the US. Oh, forget it. Sure,
the hippo racing is every Tuesday night in Calgary.
Come naked.
