Last night was a lot of fun. While walking Anthony around parts of Barclay Circle, Yates Drive and Coopers we saw many creative Halloween displays, costumes and not surprisingly VERY polite and well mannered children. Instead of yelling and screaming we heard “Happy Halloween!” and “Thank-you’s” from a majority of the children with their full bags of candies and colourful costumes.
It was nice to see a lot of the parents get involved as well, dressing up in monster get ups and going all out to make the best of the event. The weather was better than expected as most of the “weather people” on TV were predicting rain and cold wind. I for one am very glad that it held up.
The events of last night speak volumes to the community that we in our area have now developed for close to 6 years. Our bunch of homes in the middle of an old field have now become a true community. Many of us know each other by names and faces and it was great to get a chance to chat with a lot of you last night.
Some asked me “What are you dressed as? A politician!??!” I replied, yes, but one whos on break for one night only.
Today I will be doing some preparation for this evenings Ward One All Candidates meeting that is being held by the Milton Rural Residents Association at the Milton Sports Centre starting around 7pm. The first half of tonights get together will be the Mayors and Regional Chair meeting followed afterwards (roughly around 8:30 or so) with the Ward One local councillors and regional councillor candidates. There will be index cards circulated througout the banquet hall and you will have an opportunity to ask questions of the candidates on the issues important to you. Please check out with Milton Rural Residents Assocation website for more information.
There is another all candidates meeting tomorrow night as well at Country Heritage Park which should also be a lot of fun.
I’ll see you at the meetings AND at the doors.
