Missing Sodus

So far, the weather hasn't scared Betty and Ralph Everdyke back to Florida, so we're doing pretty well.

Michael White had a nice birthday... his mother had to stand in a long line for about 15 minutes so she could pick up his test book for his driver's permit. (I don't know about you other moms, but the idea of my l6-year-old behind the wheel of my car is scary. I know everyone does it, but it's still scary.)

Got a garden you're not sure what to do with it? Do your kids have a wagon stashed in the shed or garage just sitting there collecting stuff? Put it in your garden, plant some flowers around it and a couple of pots of plants inside and voila.

The last couple of weekends were busy with all the carnivals, festivals and lots of other events. If you went to any of them, write to me and let me know how much fun you had.

Tonight and tomorrow, you can catch The Gatesinger Entertainers performing A Night with the Stars at Gates Hall in Pultneyville. Shows start at 8 p.m. both nights.

Tomorrow is the Sodus Point Garden Club Plant Sale. Be there from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Willow Park.

Williamson will have it Memorial Day Parade next Friday (actually on Memorial Day) at 6:30. The parade goes from the American Legion to Sunnyside Cemetery.

May 31 is the Ontario Summerfest 2003, so be sure to mark your calendars. At the Ontario Firemen's Field on Rt. l04 in Ontario. There will be all kinds of fun events such as crafts, and a chicken BBQ from l p.m. until sold out. There will be a parade with floats, bands and lots more. Enjoy music at 7 p.m. and fireworks at Casey Park at 9 p.m.

Mark your calendars: ANTIQUE & CLASSIC BOAT SHOW June 7 at the Sodus Bay Yacht Club. Entrants Wanted! Bring Your Antique Boat Treasures! The show is FREE and open to the public. For information contact James Sweet at

jamesweet@worldnet.att.net

or call 585.425.2043.

Looking for a new place to eat? Visit the newest addition to Sodus Point - Cooper's Cafe is open and offers lunches and dinners. Enjoy specialty coffees or a glass of wine with your meal as you enjoy the view of Sodus Bay. Watch for coming summer events on Cooper's waterfront deck! Contact Cooper's Cafe at 315.483.0717.

Heluva Good and the Altoona Curve have teamed up for some family fun. The Altoona Curve is the AA affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates. On May 25, it's Heluva Good Night when the Altoona Curve play the Binghamton Mets (in Altoona). For more information and a game schedule, visit www.altoonacurve.com

Have a great Holiday weekend and enjoy each other's company. Since the weather has been cool it's a good time to add mulch to your garden (no hot sun to deal with). Not yet.
