EMC News - Norwood - It would take a lot more than a little rain to dampen the spirit that infuses the Peterborough County Holstein Club’s annual Twilight Dinner. That was certainly borne out Friday night at Sedgrose Farm near Norwood where a seemingly never-ending line of people snaked its way toward the large drive shed that was nicely converted into a banquet hall for guests attending the club’s 84th annual dinner. The club ended up serving 730 people with Hayden Taylor and his staff from Roseneath providing a superlative meal. “It is a time to celebrate,” Bob Sedgwick said as he greeted guests along with his wife Maureen and son Greg and his wife Sonja. The Sedgwicks have much to celebrate just two years after a devastating fire destroyed their barn. “After the fire I was going to quit but I got talked back into it, to stick with it,” Bob told the Trent Hills Independent. “I’m glad I did.” “This is a proud moment for the family,” Bob said noting that it was 70 years ago that his parents purchased the farm. A past recipient of the Greater Peterborough Chamber of Commerce’s Peterborough County Farm Family of the Year award, the Sedgwicks were not at all put out by the heavy rain. “It is a good way to celebrate with the community,” said Bob who also hosted the 2002 Twilight with his family. The Sedgwick family, Bob, Maureen, Sonja and Greg, welcomed hundreds of guests to Sedgrose Farm on the 7th Line of Asphodel just west of NorAdding their musical touch throughout the night wood during the Peterborough County Holstein Club’s annual Twilight Dinner.

EMC News - Hastings - Well, the St. George’s rubber duckies certainly know how to put on show. Three times the mighty wave of ducks plunged off the Hastings Bridge across from Banjo’s Grill and battled for watery supremacy all in an effort to raise funds for three worthy causes: the Campbellford Memorial Hospital Foundation’s digital mammography campaign, the Trent Hills Fire Department’s Hastings Station and the St. George’s building fund. Each organization will receive $500 from this year’s event. It was the twentieth anniversary for the duck frenzy fund raiser. “It’s a lot of fun,” said Phyllis Donnelly, a long-time member of the church’s race committee. “Everybody helps out and there are a lot of people watching,” Donnelly said. Each race featured 135 highly skilled duck Pat and Carolyn O’Brien of St. George’s Anglican Church in Hastings launch rubber duckies during racers with the winning ticket holder earning the church’s twentieth annual rubber ducky race fund raiser Saturday.

$100; second place cashed out $50 and the third running duck paid out $25. “I don’t think Hastings can handle more than 135 tickets,” Donnelly said. “We’d like to thank all the people who buy tickets; we couldn’t have this without people buying tickets. They know what it’s all about.” “Some people buy tickets for each race,” she added, During the past 20 years many organizations and charitable causes have benefitted from the fruits of the St. George’s duck race committee. “It was a perfect day,” said Donnelly. Members of the Trent Hills Fire Department were in the river to help retrieve wayward ducks and escorted the winners back to dry land. Winning the races were: Race one (for CMH) Bob Essery, first; Judith Layzell, Campbellford, second; Donna Hetherington,
