Exceptional Newfoundland artist and photographer Bud Vincent captured this beautiful shot of Trinity over the Christmas holidays. It’s the view he woke up to one morning and had to share. We’re certainly happy that he did.
Judge Jerry
Never too old to do something new, I guess! A few weeks ago, Clifford George asked if we’d be able to fill in as judges for him at the Miss Teen Trinity-Conception Pageant held in Harbour Grace. Never one to turn down a challenge (even if this was a bit out of my wheel-house), that’s what The Berry and I found ourselves doing this weekend. It was a contest of talent, spontaneous answers to difficult questions, volunteerism, attitude, confidence, poise, dignity and choices.
It was my first time judging anything like this, and what a challenge to choose from such a wonderful slate of caring, considerate and wonderful teenagers ranging from 14 to 17. They were all amazing! I’ve said it before on this blog – despite all the negative things you hear, I’ve always been impressed by this younger, thoughtful generation coming up.
The winner was lovely Jessie Fewer from Cupids; congratulations to her, thanks to all who were involved in the process, and a big kudos to all these young women who are bright lights in their communities. (And sorry for the picture quality – poor lighting and zoom, plus, I had to focus on my scoring!).
