CAPREOL DAYS THEME FOR 2009;
A TRIBUTE TO CAPREOL'S RICH SPORTS HISTORY

Capreol Days or Capreol Heritage Days, as it is sometimes called, has been
regenerated in the last few years by a small but dedicated group who have tried to
put a theme concept to our celebrations. Who can forget the High School Reunion of
a couple of years ago? Last year we celebrated our 90th birthday and we were proud to have Capreol's induction into the Railroad Hall of Fame annouced at the Saturday Night festivities. This year we invite everyone who was involved in sports in Capreol to return home with their memories and memorabilia.

We not only want to salute and recognize the elite athletes, like Doug Mohns, Terry
Crisp, Jimmy Mayer, Ezio Bevilacqua, Tom Clark, Greg Goodwin, Wendy Farquharson, but also the people who built the facilities, sponsored, coached, managed, aministrated. Some names that have already been brought forward are Norm Fawcett, Jack Watt, Jack Blackwell, Marshall Edwards, Lorne Melville, Ted Blanchard, Bill Ouellet: the list is long!! We must not forget the fans; two great ones who I am sure will attend are Shirley Hanzel and Frances Harvey. Maybe the curling rink executives could go back in its archives and hilite the history of that facility.

Think about the many Capreol Hawks teams, the Muletrains, the Mohawks, the Rebels, the Riviera Hotel, the Mazzucas, Team Capreol, the Capreol Red Wings, Don Prescott's Capreol Juniors: Some of these are featured on Capreol on Line but it would be great to have a permanent history of the past. There has been talk of creating a Capreol Sports Hall of Fame. Is that a possibility? The museum woulk like to expand-could it house a hall of fame? So much depends on people, ideas, and of course finances.

The long weekend in August will be the date for Capreol Days again and if there is
enough interest we may start a day early with a golf tournament on the Friday.
Please spread the word to family and friends about these ideas and maybe some one
can get word out on facebook and on the forum on Capreol on line. We need help and ideas. Please contact Dave Kilgour-dakilgour@gmail.com -8581832 or Kim Lachapelle- capreoldays@yahoo.ca or David Bateman info@railroadtown.ca 8581206 or Stu Thomas ssthomas5@sympatico.ca 858 1277 to volunteer to help.

On behalf of the Capreol Lions Club, President Earl Kent and Food Hamper Co-Chair Linda Wotton present Staff (Mis. Zymantas) and students: Steven McAnulty, Jules Auge, Kayne Groulx, Christina Ostrowalker, Shannyn Falcioni, and James Yorke, with a plaque thanking Confederation Secondary School for their tremendous assistance in collecting food for the Annual Capreol Lions Food Hamper Program.
The Capreol Lions are proud to work with Confederation students and
staff on this annual Christmas Food Drive.

Capreol Youth Arts Festival searching for producer for new play
Sheperd Pilon writes: Art never stands still. We at the Capreol Youth Arts Festival are adding to our winter repertoire by producing a play which was spawned as a result ot the Acting workshop we gave last winter. As the attachment says we need a producer. I would appreciate your helping us by making this known, either through your outlet or by word of mouth. Who knows, there may be a closet David Merrick out there just waiting for a push in the right direction. shepon@cyberbeach.net
