Once again we have come to the end of
summer and to mark the end of this short season residents of our great
community will come together for one of the most significant events of
the year - Valley East Days!
Valley East Days will be held from Friday, September 8
to Sunday, September 10, at the Centennial Arena in Hanmer. It is an
opportunity for people of all ages to take part in a wide variety of
activities, visit displays from many businesses and services during the
trade show, and just have some good old-fashioned community-spirit fun.
Valley East Days is a celebration of our community. It
is a time to reflect, with extreme pride, on our accomplishments and to
ponder our future as we enter into a new era under the umbrella of the
Greater City of Sudbury. It can even become a spingboard for embarking
on the road towards personal goals which will enable us to become better
citizens and take an active part in the development of our community.
When we become part of the Greater City of Sudbury, we will have to work
even harder to maintain our distinct identity. We will all have to pitch
in and show the rest of the region that Valley East makes a big
difference in this area.
Yes, this weekend is much more than a three-day
festival of entertainment and food. It is a new beginning! It is a
celebration of life itself as we know it in Valley East. The Lion’s
Club and a number of other service organizations have put many, many
months of preparation into Valley East Days. Show these volunteers how
much you appreciate their hard work by visiting the Centennial Arena and
park this weekend to take part in the celebration with your neighbours
and friends.
