Moving on...

Every year at Sturgeon Point, properties change hand and families join us and depart.  It is both exciting and sad to have happen.  New families bring new ideas and vigour and more children for the Sailing Club.  The old families never seem to depart fully - returning as they do for visits, the Civic Holiday Regatta, to rent and sometimes future generations buy again.

Currently there are three cottages on the market within the Village proper and two right on the edge.

Happy Easter!

SPA's 2nd Annual Easter Eggstravaganza in the Park was a huge success!  The weather was warm.  There seemed to be a gazillion kids running everywhere.  Parents and teens hid over 350 eggs and the kids had a blast finding them all.  Pictures from this year's event will be posted shortly, but here are a couple from last year for flavour.  Many thanks to Lisa Vehrs, Maria Marlin, Patty Aspinwall, Liane Kennedy, and Vanessa Dawson for pulling it all together.

The Doll Cottage was taken to the Park and displayed.  There was a hugely positive response. The kids, both girls and boys, played with it and hope to win it.  There were also a number of teens who advised me that it was "pretty cool" and that they would not mind winning it either.  A number of people made donations and we thank you very much for your contributions.

Bureaucracy...

With all the best of intentions we had intended to launch the Doll Cottage Raffle this weekend, but we have been done in by bureaucracy.  The Sturgeon Point History Project for all its hard work does not meet the definitions and legal status that will allow us the license, so...

We have this amazing doll house and we are going to, somehow, ensure that a someone will get to take it home.  At this point, we are hoping that we can allow everyone to fill in tickets free of charge and do the draw on August 11th.  We are waiting to hear back from the City of Kawartha Lakes on this.

Fundraising will be done completely separately.  As in past years, a donation box will be placed on the table and your donations will be gratefully received and applied to the costs of running the Project.

If anyone has any questions or suggestions, give me a call or e-mail us.
