Homecoming: The Greatest Party Ever!!

August 7, 2007

City Workers Putting Up Homecoming DecorationsSometimes when a celebration reaches the giddy swirling heights of bliss and thankfulness I imagine to myself that there is a meter out there somewhere that is reading and measuring our level of celebration. If such a meter exists it’s needle must have been spiking well outside of normal ranges for the week of July 27th to August 5th because we here in Owen Sound have been feeling the party vibration! What a week! I’m exhausted, and I would imagine that the keepers of the celebration meter are totally flummoxed.

After all the organizing and planning, city coordinators and volunteers must be giving a sigh of relief that all their hard work resulted in so many people having so much fun. The Meet & Greet tent was such a nice place to be, with old friends finding one another after years, young people competing in talent shows, and absolutely stellar music being performed nightly. Doug Cleverley was everywhere doing everything and yet somehow he never lost his cool. Jan Chamberlain was always full of smiles as she perused the events she was so integral in making happen. We here at theOwen.com would like to send a huge thanks out to Doug and Jan and all of the many many volunteers and city workers who made Owen Sound’s 150th anniversary Homecoming celebrations the thing of wonder that it was.

For we here at theOwen.com however there will be no resting on our laurels. We’ve got an online rideshare board in the works, upcoming provincial elections to prepare for, Summerfolk in just two weeks, and we’re promoting and participating in an evening of live electronic music being presented by Tel Quel at the Mudtown Pottery Studio on Saturday August 11th. Tickets for that show are $5 in advance (available at theOwen.com headquarters, 916 2nd Ave. East Owen Sound) or $6 at the door. We’re not rolling over now that Homecoming is over and neither should all you amazing Owen Sounders! Go ahead, take it easy this week. Catch your breath, but be ready for fun to come!
