Dont you just hate it when you forget someones birthday? On Facebook its easy to remember friends birthdays with the reminders on the front page and then all you have to do is go to their page and put “HAPPY B DAY (insert name here). I always find it horrible to remember someones big day a week or so after the fact.
I have some good excuses mind you, what with the baptism of our daughter, my parents in from Newfoundland for a vist, work (obvious choice) and planning our move which is rapidly approaching the one month mark. I dont think the Town of Milton will mind though.
July 4, 2009 was the Town of Milton’s 152nd birthday. What seems ages ago, back in 2007, we celebrated Milton’s 150th Birthday. I was honoured to be part of the master committee in charge of planning all the events for 2007, which included such things as the Winter Festival and the Amazing Race (sadly, no one has picked up that ball and run with it). One of the events we as a committee were part of that we are so glad has continued was the annual Milton Street Festival last month. That was the 3rd annual event with plans already started for next years celebration.
So yes, very quietly Milton grew one year older. There is no facebook page for Milton that has this information so sadly it went unnoticed. So from me and others who live in this great town we have one thing to say…
