Maidstone and District News

By Kathy Utri Correspondent

Congratulations to Maidstone Ice Arena’s Trip of the Month winners for April. Nathan Allers won the $1,000 travel voucher and Duane Doud won the ticket money back.

Maidstone’s 2023 travel group left on their international trip April 4. My 15-year-old granddaughter is one of the students on the trip so I’ve been getting a visual tour of London, Paris and currently Rome.

Maidstone Pharmacy’s Easter colouring contest winners were Logan for the seven and under category and Ellie for the age eight to 12 group. Each won a beautiful Easter basket.

The Kin Club’s Easter dance last Thursday had an amazing turnout. Brennan Becotte donated his top-grade DJ services and Heather Franks for treats.

The Easter bunny made a special appearance and joined in hopping around the dance floor much to the delight of the kids.

The Walter family fire recovery fundraiser is Saturday, April 15 in Colonsay. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the silent auction begins. The burger/hotdog supper is at 5:30 p.m. and bring a bag or bucket for the kids’ Easter egg hunt at 6:30 p.m., followed by a dance and social until 2:30 a.m.

The cost is $40 for a family of four, $15 for over age 10, $10 for ages three to 10, free for ages two and under, and $5 for dance only. Jeff and Carrie (former Maidstone resident) and their children — Waylon Walter and Eric, Jack and Jessie Cutsforth — appreciate all the love and support as they recover from the loss of their home and belongings.

Maidstone Legion Club Room will be closing at the end of April for the summer
