Winter arrives @ Bristol Motel, Wawa, ON Canada

The Bristol Motel Parking lot.

We have three tracters but my driveway is always the last one to be done.

Winter arrives all in one day. Snow started to fall and blow late December 5/08. Customers said the highway was terrible especially around the lake.

Snow continued to fall all through the night with blowing winds spread it all around.

This morning it continued to snow and blow. Locals were still getting to the Sub shop to bring their donations to the food bank fund scheduled for today. Donations will be very helpful as this year there are many people out of work in the area and they will gladly appreciate the help. If you have not been there yet ... get there! You never know when you need help, this is the true spirit of the holidays. Neighbour helping neighbour.

Willy has been in his toy tracter since 4:00 am. Marc came to help him and they have been done plowing their lists but I guess they still want to play awhile longer. Three P.M. and everything has come to a stop. The sun is starting to peak out and the winds have quit blowing.

One thing about the snow ... you can always pile it higher.

Santa Arrives by Firetruck to Community Christmas

Sunday November 30, Santa and Mrs. Clause arrived at the Wawa Arena where the Best Start Hub hosted a very busy afternoon for the children of the area. The kids and the parents had a great time and it was a real treat to see something so positive. Everyone left their worries at home.

Santa Clause was keep busy with all the orders the children were giving him and Mrs. Clause was giving out the candy canes and oranges. The elves helpers were kept busy too as there was a steady line of children waiting for their turn to talk with Santa while their parent took their picture.

There were games and toys set up around the room and parents watched and talked and watched their children play while enjoying the snacks provided.

Small prizes were awarded to the children but they were more interested in the games and toys. Volunteers helped to paint the childrens' faces and helped them to decorate cookies. The play dough was also a huge hit not only for the kids as parents spent time at this table as well.

The Best Start Hub, Wawa hosted this very successful free day for the community . They did a great job and everyone is waiting for it to come around again next year. All the time and energy this group put into this project was very well appreciated. You are the Best Start to this community, and one day your little people will be a real asset to our community. I noticed these little people, many of them coming and going, but I noticed only laughter, sharing and learning, with the exception of the few who were afraid of Santa. Too bad some of the leaders today were not there; I am sure they could have learned something about getting along. Merry Christmas.
