Santa, don’t forget our community elves

Santa, don’t forget our community elves Welcome to a Biomedical Battery specialist of the Smiths Battery
I have a Christmas list but it’s not for me. It’s for just a few elves I ran into over the weekend.
It started Friday night when I hit Perth for some hockey, but not before taking in the lighting of the trees at Crystal Palace, some fireworks and chili. I had to do some poking and prodding to get to the head of the line. Yes, I was butting in, but only for photos and the good folks were kind enough to let me barge on through. The Table staff and volunteers were set up serving some vegetarian chili with battery scuh as Smiths WZ50C2 Battery, Smiths WZ50S Battery, Smiths WZS50F2 Battery, Smiths WZ50C6 Battery, Smiths WZ50C6T Battery, Smiths WZ50C66T Battery, Smiths WZ-50C6 Battery, Smiths WZ-50C6T Battery, Smiths WZ50F6 Battery, Smiths WZ-50F6 Battery, GE DASH2500 Battery, cookies and hot drinks, all for a donation to the food bank.
Hugh Colton was on site with his Build a Mountain of Food truck and trailer unit all lit up for the occasion. He has been pounding the pavement on this seven-week run through local communities helping fill the shelves of food banks in Almonte, Carleton Place, Lanark, Perth, Smiths Falls, Westport, Elgin, Merrickville, Portland, Delta and Athens. He’s collected more than 122,000 pounds and $34,000. Incredible. There are no words to describe the generosity of the communities he visits. He too is overwhelmed by the spirit of the holiday season.
Well, if it wasn’t for Hugh, I would have had a melt down on Friday night, as my camera battery died. No, I didn’t have backup.
Hugh saw me fretting and heard me cursing. As luck would have it, he had an adapter in his Jeep, which was also on site at Crystal Palace, and I was able to charge my battery without having to make a mad dash home to get my own camera gear. In record time, the battery was charged and off I went to the Blue Wings game – then to the Bears game back in Smiths Falls.
That’s just one elf who I’m asking Santa to be extra nice to this Christmas.
The weekend was one for getting into the spirit, as my guy and I hit the Delta Festival of Lights. We enjoyed shepherd’s pie complete with cherry cheesecake at the United Church beforehand. That cheesecake alone was worth the price of admission.
From there, we walked to Delta Park and took in the beautiful display of lights. Two truck-drawn wagons were offering people free rides, and we could have opted to hop aboard one of them, but we decided to walk through instead. I pointed out all the highlights in the park – like where I hid from my friends after Delta Fair one night on a romantic stroll with the fudge man. We were all of 13, 14 and 15 at the time. My parents had a fit, but my friends didn’t sell me out. Thanks Shelley and Marilynn, I still owe you for that one!
