Thanks so very much to all the amazing youth in our community for bringing their best costume and friendly, supportive and safe mayhem energy to our annual Halloween party. Big shout out to the parents and primary care givers for your trust, and time as personal youth chauffeurs. ๐Ÿ™‚
There were a good handful of parents who volunteered on-site, too. Your help at the door and in helping some attendees in need of a break was invaluable.

Of course, Steve Buskard DJ Service brought the noise, lights and smoke all night for the second year running. He also brought his young stylish grandson, Lincoln. ๐ŸŽง๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿฅ๐ŸŽน

Thanks so very much for generous support from Foodland Picton, Demorestville Cafe and Convenience, and Sunset Farms and Cabins. ๐Ÿ’ช

And a huge hand to the teens from Prince Edward Collegiate Institute and Centennial Secondary School who were vital to making this dance happen safely. You folks rock!! ๐Ÿค˜

Last, but certainly not least, a big up to all the volunteers from your friendly, neighbourhood Sophiasburgh Recreation Committee! Especially our on site team : Stephanie Waddingham, Ashley Greer Koutroulides, Michelle Pritchard, Larissa Stout, Brian Longwell (Rocky) and Michael Farrell.

BRAVO!!!!!
Now, go out and enjoy this killer weather on a PA day!

BIG NEWS!!
Weโ€™ve got two new, properly installed, professional grade basketball nets up at the rink in Demorestville!!!! ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€
One is 10โ€™ high while another is 8โ€™ high so the beauty of hoops can be had by everyone in the community when weโ€™re not skating on the rink in winter.

Come on down with friends, family or just by yourself to shoot some hoops - the basketball nets are waiting to do their job!

A huge amount of thanks for local greats Patrick Franklin Roloson of Roloson Masonry Contractors (pictured here, on the left w one of his great team members) & Greg Bulgajewski of Village Automotive - both from Demorestville. They kindly donated their equipment, their expertiseโ€ฆand their hours to get these installed properly, and for good. You both are superstars!!!!

Another shout out to community fixture, Larissa, from the always friendly Demorestville Cafe and Convenience for driving this project hard for our SRC team.

Thanks as well to the Parks and Rec team, and others at Prince Edward County for helping us w locates, and ongoing support for this and other community projects we are so happy and honoured to do.

Stay tuned for keys to be painted shortly and a formal kick off event in partnership with the awesome County Clippers crew!

In the meantime, see you under the nets. ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ
All you need is a basketball.
