On a milder winter day (Friday, Feb. 13), people gathered at Kenton Memorial Hall at noon for a Valentine lunch provided by Woodworth Senior Services co-ordinator Colleen Elliott and Kenton and Area Lions Club, as well as some community volunteers.

As patrons entered the hall, which was beautifully decorated by Colleen’s sister-in-law Pat Elliott, they signed the guest book, bought raffle tickets for two gift baskets (one for women and one for men) and were offered a glass of cranberry punch.

Donations were accepted at the door. When everyone was seated, Wallace-Woodworth Reeve Denis Carter welcomed everyone and told them to enjoy themselves. Colleen gave us a questionnaire about love songs and gave us the answers afterwards. Maryanne Whyte said grace before everyone enjoyed a delicious beef/pork lunch with all the trimmings, served buffet style. 

Colleen made the draws for the gift baskets and I (Paulette) won the ladies’ while June Hunt won the men’s. Colleen expressed her appreciation for all the help everyone had given to her as she couldn’t have done it alone. 

Following lunch Nicole Wilson entertained the group. Accompanied by herself on guitar, she sang love songs that coincided with Valentine’s Day.
