Victoria Day prizes at New Denver


Ralph Wilson wins the New Denver May Days fishing derby!
His fish - a 6-pound Dolly Varden, caught on the other side of the lake yesterday.  The derby was to end at noon today and at 10am, Susie had a call from Ralph, back out on the lake, hoping that she would come to the prize-giving.  By then he was quite sure he would win.  She gathered me up and off we went and he did!  Next biggest was a 4-pounder.  Ralph sure knows how to find the fish.

And, Julia Greenlaw and Paula Shandra were awarded a hazelnut tree for their volunteer work with toddlers, teens, plants, and "healthy community".  Lovely, and a complete surprise to them both.  In fact Julia had to be cajoled to leave her garden and come to the Park.  Susie and I just happened to be there (thanks to Ralph).
note "Mr. New Denver" with the mohawk - last year's "royalty"
