Goosey Gander Shop this Weekend

The Shop will Open at 10am on Saturday but close a teeny bit early in order to attend the Christmas Concert at 3pm. Sunday hours will be as usual 10am to 3pm.

A very large batch of toys came in this week, including a Darth Vader Mr. Potato Head, cars and trucks galore from Cars Cars to Transformers, a box of Hot Wheels tracks, and an old die cast metal Chevy truck. There is also a periscope, a whole set of Christmas dishes, two pairs of new adorable Sperry Top Sider toddler shoes, a Candyland game in a tin box, a Coleman inflatable Queen size mattress for your extra Holiday visitors, and twenty new crochet items from youngsters A&A. Many many more older items have been marked for the yellow tag half off sale too and the Goosey $10 Gift coins are available to give to Friends and Family.

Come by and have a look!
Thank you,
Nan Beals

Visibility of Pedestrians

Is it is going to take a horrific pedestrian accident before people on Thetis roads start wearing reflective gear?

I passed 9 pedestrians at different spots going from the mailboxes to Porlier Rd at about 4:45 this evening. ONE was wearing reflective gear. The rest had dark clothing & you don’t see them until you are almost on them. One didn’t even step off the pavement & by the time I saw them & swerved I must have passed within 2 feet of him/her. ( I drive at slow speeds because of the pedestrian/deer hazards)

If these people don’t seem to mind the risks of being invisible, it is really, really going to mess up my day ( & others) if I hit one!!

P.S
A thin strip of high-vis piping on a jacket is better than nothing but really doesn’t cut it with these long dark days.
