From the Editor's Computer

To the Centennial Committee, the numerous volunteers and the residents of Alix and area...a great BIG thank you and pat on the back.

The Centennial weekend was a resounding success and you are all to be commended on hosting a wonderful party.

I heard many compliments throughout the weekend and everyone who participated thoroughly enjoyed themselves. It was great to see so many people return to Alix for this special celebration. It was also amusing to see different people express their surprise and shock that former classmates actually made the effort to attend!

The weather was perfect and each of the various venues were decorated in fine fashion. The historic walking tour was also a hit with the visitors. One couple I was talking to were so impressed that they walked it twice! The community looked its best thanks to all of you.

The parade also elicited a number of positive comments. It was a delight to see so many participate in the parade itself and so many watching.

I don’t believe I have ever seen so many people in one building in Alix as I saw at the BBQ. If you were fortunate enough to attend the evening meal and entertainment, I’m sure you’ll agree with me it was well worth it! Firehall Catering outdid themselves with the meal and the Popovichs entertained to an appreciative crowd...even adding a surprise or two into the program.

All in all, it was a great time and you have a community that you can be proud of.

Here’s to another 100 years!
