Lots to do in Woodstock over the long weekend
As a member of the Woodstock Recreation Advisory Committee, I will be one of the 5 judges of the Monday parade, which begins at 10 a.m. from the fairgrounds and travels east down Dundas to Wellington and then south. The judges do rate each float and band as they travel past the Zellers parking lot, and later the winners are recognized at a city council meeting.
By the way, the Lions Club of Woodstock, which I am a member, are responsible for setting up the parade order and getting all the floats and Shriners vehicles out of the fairgrounds. It certainly is convenient to have a harness racing track to line everyone up.
The midway in Southside Park is all weekend.
The fastball tournament as organized by Woodstock Kelseys and Sweaburg Crush teams, continues into Monday. Site www.city.woodstock.on.ca is where to go to see the divisional lineups for the teams. Legendary Woodstock fastball player and member of ISC hall of fame, Brian Paton, is playing for the Toronto Gators.
On Monday afternoon, the marching bands from the parade will march into the Southside Sportsfield, which is named after Woodstock's great baseball player Tip O'Neill. They call it a tattoo or band competition.
Just another reason to call Woodstock home.
If you want to call Woodstock home, call me:
