Cramahe Now reader Harold Harnden writes what many have been saying for weeks -

Has it really been four weeks since the 150th anniversary of the village of Colborne?

I am still living that weekend as though it were yesterday and in talking to others the same feeling pervades. The whole thing was like magic and such an event will not be seen again by many of us here today. Time has a way of eliminating some of us as the days and months pass but there will be others to ready the village for 175th or 200th anniversary.

In any future celebrations,those in charge had better be sharp in their planning. Those who worked so hard for many months for this past party ,will be a hard act to follow.

Congratulations and thank you goes out to Pat Westrope and her committee for a job well done. I imagine there must have been some times of doubt while planning this large production but it was done with style and finesse. And didn't all those ladies in their period costumes take everyone's eye. Just beautiful, and the men were quite dapper also.
