This letter to the Editor of the Advance inspired me to start this new page of Queens County Community to inspire others to get out and rediscover all that is wonderful about Queens County. I spoke to Lanny and he was happy to share this article with all the Queens County Community readers.
My wife and I just returned from North Queens, where we attended a community supper at the New Westfield Hall. The supper was sponsored by a group promoting the using of local foods. Our supper consisted of cornbeef, cabbage, carrots, and potatoes along with home made butter, rolls, biscuits and apple crisp topped with whipped cream. Coffee, tea and water for drinks. It could not have been any better. Very good meal. There were little booths set up along one wall selling everything from pickles and jewelry, to fresh eggs and blankets. There was a fairly good turn out from South Queens. Many of us commented on how we thought we were on the streets of Haiti after the earthquake once we hit the road from Caledonia to Westfield, it sure is a mess. Hopefully something can soon be done to upgrade this section of highway.
All in all it was a very pleasant day to make such a tour, to meet old friends, enjoy a good meal, buy a few things and enjoy QCCR country music part of the way home. I love that station, especially on the weekends. There are things going on in Queens and they need our support. Give it some thought and see what you can do to take part.
The supper was to be followed with music on stage by local talent.

The next big event at the Westfield Hall is a Country, Gospel and Newfie Music Variety Show on 18th April 2010 Featuring: Charlie Purcell and the Newfie Country Sound Melinda and Alisia Naugler, James and Agnes Clinton. Show time is 1:30-4:00. Admission:$6. Half take tickets, canteen; a portion of the proceeds goes to the Westfield Hall.
Stories from local residents and those afar that still keeps their roots close to their heart, about what they love about Queens County and special days out in Queens County, they want to share with everyone.
Welcome to another new feature of Queens County Community
I love to hear stories about what people find interesting to do in Queens County. People live here because they love Queens County. There is so much going on and it is, what you make of it. Once I started to publish events on the Queens County Community Calendar, I saw Queens County as I had never seen it before. Once I started publishing pictures in the Out & about album, I wanted to see more. I have always loved geography and love to know where I am in relation to everything around me. I would love to get out and about more often, as I am sure that most of you would as well. We all have busy lives though and commitments, but we fit in what we can. This page is dedicated to sharing all those experiences with everyone. If you are out and about in Queens and you want to share, let us know about it. If you have a camera or a video cam, what a great way to share your experiences with everyone else. If we cannot be there, reading about it is the next best thing and maybe it will end up on your to do list. So please share your experiences, a walk on the beach, a drive in the country, visiting your favorite spot, having lunch with friends, a special find in Queens, a potluck supper, a sporting event. Let's let everyone know what we love about Queens.
