Where: The Cassidy’s house - 3808 Pineridge
When: Saturday October 23rd @ 11:00am - 3:00ish
Who: Any ghosts, goblins or family and friends of Lac Le Jeune residents!!

The pumpkin hunt will start at 11:00 and you MUST (must, must we say), drop off your pumpkins on the Friday at the Cassidy’s house. One per child and this will allow us time to hide them. As in previous years, you may not go home with the same pumpkin that you dropped off. Please explain this to your little goblins!

Chris the clown will be arriving for fun times at 12:30!!

We will be grilling up hot dogs (chicken and beef) along with drinks and snacks.

Come out, meet the neighbours, and join in on the fun and games!!

Hope to see you there,
Casey and Karen

Memories of Skippy

Skippy lived a long and happy life at Lac Le Jeune, and sure appreciated all the pats, treats, hugs, and smiles you gave him over the years. He loved to ride in his "skippy mobile", an all terrain/all season stroller that we converted to the perfect solution for a 3-legged dog that wanted to go everywhere with us but couldn't do it on his own. He was photographed in that stroller by so many tourists passing through Lac Le Jeune that he must be in hundreds of photo albums around the world!

UPDATE August 6th:  Kootenay has been found! Thanks for your help!
