Older folks bring their chairs and sit around and chat while others play volleyball, horse shoes or participate in the water-balloon or three-legged races.An enjoyable day ends with a huge bonfire and fireworks display.In order to raise money for these affairs, the committee holds two annual fund-raisers - in the spring and fall.The next one is a turkey dinner from 5 to 7:30 p.m.on Nov.8 at the Catholic Chapel.The children get involved in this dinner, serving as runners carrying food from the Grauers family kitchen to the church.The Grauers willingly donate the use of their kitchen for this annual affair.The money raised goes towards prizes and gifts, as well as for Christmas baskets for the elderly and flowers and cards for sick residents and funerals.Five years ago, the committee got huge signs made for each end of the village, as well as Glen Sutton license plates for residents to proudly announce their hometown.The group also provides sports equipment for children, including baseball bats and hockey nets.A skating rink was also constructed by the association on land donated by resident Phyllis Myers.Their latest successful fund-raiser was the compilation of the Glen Sutton Cookbook.This is a town that knows how to support its community.PF* >e& TANYA TKACH/ CORRESPONDENT These Glen Sutton children are among those who participated in the pumpkin-carving contest, raising community spirit and helping those in need.Ian Westover Seat #2 Councillor ELECTIONS Township of Sutton November 2,1997 - CANADIAN CASH AT PA MERRILL FARM RESORT NORTH CONWAY, NEW HAMPSHIRE $49 - $1 09 plus tax PRICES FOR NOV.1 - DEC.18 • FREE Breakfast • Up to 2 children stay FREE • Discount Shopping Coupons for 120 Tax Free Outlets • Discount Restaurant Coupons • AAA and Mobil 3 Star Property 1 -800-445-1017 WE DO CDN AT PAR 90% OF THE YEAR!
