Citizen of the Year

 Tonight was one of those highlight of the year events - the Community Achievement Awards Gala, a.k.a. Citizen of the Year Award Night.  

Got all duded up in my 35 year old suit, shirt and tie.

Fortunately for me, my lovely lady got more attention.

And we also had our picture taken with Ian Thomas, the musician who was born in Winona and is a friend of the Citizen of the Year, Georgina Beattie.

Ian, and his Lunch With Allen group will be touring Ontario in December with a Christmas show.  We'll be there!

Besides Georgina's well deserved recognition, there were other presentations:

Community Recognition Award to the Winona Men's Club.

Legacy Award to Earl Paddock Transportation.

Outstanding Small Business to LAMA (Literacy and Mathematics Academy).

Outstanding Large Business to Alectra Utilities.

and, Junior Citizen of the Year to Faith McDonald.

All in all, a fine evening.

We're heading to Port Dover for a Norm Foster play at the Lighthouse Theatre tomorrow.  Probably won't get back in time to put out the blog.  

So, tonight I'll recognize David and Sue who will be celebrating their 33 years of marriage tomorrow. A nice milestone (even though my suit predates their marriage).

Stay well folks.
