HORSING ABOUT
Centre Hastings shows Canadian pride EMC News - Madoc - Prince EdwardHastings MP Daryl Kramp returned to his hometown to open Canada Day festivities at Centre Hastings Park. Kramp said Canada ranks number one as the most desired country in which to live. “Countries are like people, none of them are perfect,” he said, “but, we are well respected.” He remembered those who fought to keep Canada free and those who now serve to protect the nation. He noted, also, that he was raised in Madoc and returned there to raise his own family because, he said, in this little village are “values that have stood the test of time.”
Justin MacDonald, his wife, and children have lived in Madoc six years; he said the park, and events of the day were “great.” I like it because everything is here and it’s not crowded or busy, just comfortable. We love it!” Jeff Bitton, parks and recreation coordinator, thanked his staff and volunteers for bringing the festivities together. “Events like these don’t just happen. There has been a lot of work by volunteers and the community.” Cool weather and rain late in the afternoon did not deter folks from the grand finale of fireworks at dusk. Please see “Happy” on page 9

In the background from the Paula Grills Amphitheatre stage, music was supplied by The Fade Kings as youngsters scaled the climbing wall or bounced in one of two castles set up nearby. Families picnicked on the Please see “Canada” on page 2
