Enjoying the Festive Season with Friends

December 12, 2009 was the date of this year's Christmas Dinner & Dance. We had a terrific turnout of around 90 Matlock and area residents to enjoy fellowship, assorted libations, some amazing food and dancing to wear it all off. Hats off to Darlene Muron, the MRC's multi-talented treasurer, who chaired our planning committee for this event and even made the table centres. Everything looked marvellous, and the event went off without a hitch. And thanks again to the gals at Joan's Catering of Fraserwood for the terrific turkey dinner. Everything was delicious! If you missed the event this year, plan to attend next year. The tickets go quickly because it is an amazing deal (tickets were $20 each this year) and is loads of fun. Here are some faces you might recognize, and from all of us at the Matlock Recreation Club, have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy New Year.

Santa comes to Matlock

Saturday, December 5th was an exciting day at the Matlock Rec Centre when Mr. & Mrs. Claus appeared with two of their elves to reward good Donnottar children with some pre-Christmas treats and hopes for delivery of much-wanted gifts on Christmas Eve. Local dignitaries were on hand to help serve up a terrific pancake and sausage breakfast. A craft table was available to amuse the kids and a draw was made for a handmade gingerbread house. Large and small children alike were entertained by Santa's antics! Fun was had by all! Tell your friends about this blog and share the joy!
