 Monday's
 Remembrance Day ceremony was a corker and the weather cooperated. The 
parade square was packed, there was a "fly by" by an old fighter plane 
and the band played on. It was epic.

divisions for the gingerbread house entries and each winning entry will 
win a $150 prize thanks to our generous sponsors. Blow the cobwebs out 
of the oven and get busy.
