Repairs On Weigh Scales And Local Notices

Last week repairs were made to Hill's weigh scales on MIM Street with new timbers.

Farmers took advantage of good weather to haul roots, and several residents and visitors noted in Acton and Norval attended events and visits. The booting season begins with buyers and rifle sounds familiar in the area.
