Canada Day in North Dundas
SOUTH MOUNTAIN -- Yes, the HST
arrives tomorrow (Thurs., July 1), but more importantly, the Township
of North Dundas will be celebrating Canada Day.
Festivities get underway at 8 am inside the agricultural hall
at the South Mountain Fairgrounds with a breakfast served by township
Mayor Alvin Runnalls and his councillors, as well as Stormont,
Dundas, and South Glengarry (SD&SG) MP Guy Lauzon.
At the same time, the annual baseball tournament begins. Eight
teams will compete throughout the day for the "A" and
"B" titles. At 12 pm, a home run hitting contest will
take place. The cost is $5 for three balls.
Friends of the South Mountain Library will be hosting a book sale
until 2 pm, while the silent auction inside the agricultural hall
is open until 7 pm.
Other events include South Nation Conservation's eco-adventure
educational program, an ice cream eating contest, circus delights
with air bounces and a magic show, an Italian supper from 5 to
7 pm, and a cake cutting ceremony at 6 pm.
At approximately 9:50 pm, "O Canada" will be sung, and
the fireworks show is expected to begin at 10 pm.
