We’ve had some great experiences with guests lately that I can’t wait to write about, but with my love of the Wonderful World of Whiteway I’d be remiss if I didn’t share something The Berry and I are very excited about – the upcoming Whiteway Days, starting this Sunday. This year we’ll be celebrating not only 100 years of Whiteway Days, but also a Come Home Year, so we think it is going to be extra special. Also extra special because this will be our first!
Starting this Sunday, July 22 (also my youngest daughter’s birthday!), community activities will run to to the following Saturday. Here’s the events planned:
July 22 – Mummer’s Parade, Music and Fireworks on the Beach – not to be missed!
July 23 – Pot Luck Dinner, ‘History of Whiteway’ slideshow
July 24 – Magic Show, Afternoon Tea and Bake Sale, Evening Hypnotist Show (should be a laugh)
July 25 – Pancake/Toutons Breakfast, Kids’ Activities, Old Fashioned Bingo
July 26 – Family Golf Tournament, Jigs’ Dinner and Screen-In for CFAs (that’s Come-from-Aways, ie, Non-Newfoundlanders!)
July 27 – Fishing Contest (got to get my brother in on that one!), Dory Races, Adult Fun Night
July 28 – Community Breakfast, Horseshoe Tournament, Go-Kart Races, Games and Competitions, Evening Adult Dance featuring Heartland Band
July 29 – Folk Festival, Art Show, Car Show
If there’s anything I’ve learned since coming out to Whiteway, it’s that our neighbours are creative, caring, fun-loving people, so I cannot wait to celebrate this little town with them. Hopefully we’ll see some blog-readers out there, too – it’ll be fun!
