Knox
Steeplechase a Great Success

Country Carnival,
Update
Over 300 people attend Knox United Country Carnival
On Friday, September 28,
A Country Carnival was held where over 300 people
attended. The focus of the event was
good old fashion fun for all. Anne
Carroll, organized a wonderful series of
games ranging from three legged races, to sack races, ring toss, stilts and the great cat &
mouse game. The highlight of the night
however was the jello eating contest. A
loud roar could be heard as each race closed to the finish. One could certainly see who participated in
the jello eating contest from the smile on their messy faces.
Lots of hotdogs and hamburgers, with cookies and drinks
were served by the Busy Moms group that was organized by Kathi Taylor. Great job ladies for doing such a great job
organizing and preparing the feast.
The food was great.
The night came to an end with people frantically trying to outbid others in the Silent
Auction. There were definitely some
very interesting tactics used to bid.
People went home with a large variety of items ranging from A Day at the
Farm, to Maple Leaf tickets, an Ottawa Senators signed Mike Fisher jersey, to
beautiful handmade quilts. There was
something to suit everyone.
The organizing committee would like to thank
Contributors/Sponsors, Battlefield Equipment Rentals - Colin Goheen, Conestoga Cold Storage - Ed Shantz, Coca-Cola Products - Todd McFarlane, and Deutschmann Paquette Travers - Rob
Deutschmann. Plus all the local
businesses and individuals for their contributions to the Silent Auction. In total $5700.00 was raised that will be
put towards the restoration project which will begin this fall.
