Doris McCready was honoured with a 90th birthday party on Saturday (May 16) at the Emo Legion.
Several folks from across the district attended the fun-filled celebration, as did family members from Hamilton.
Doris actually turned 90 back on April 17 but this past Saturday was the best day to hold the special celebration.
Happy birthday, Doris, from your community and wishing you many more!

Robin’s 2¢:
A reporter was interviewing a jeweller for a story he was writing on giving new life to old jewellery and asked him to recount his most memorable client.
“It was a divorced woman who had me make a pair of earrings from her inscribed wedding band,” he recalled.
“One earring read ‘With all’ and the other one, ‘my love.’
“When I asked her why she wanted it done that way, she replied, ‘To remind me that the next time anyone says that to me, I should let it go in one ear and out the other.’”
