Last Saturday was the perfect day for ‘Buttercup Hollow’ Orono Park’s Centennial Celebrations. There was lots to do, see and explore. Clarington Library, Museum and Archives brought a lot of treasures illustrating our history. The Orono Horticultural Society, celebrating their 102nd this year, shared their history. Local vendors their offerings. A free swim and pick up baseball game was also enjoyed. Clarington Fire Services, Durham Region Police and Ambulance were present for a close up look inside vehicles and safety education. Soper Creek Wildlife Rescue along with furry friends shared what they do. Lions Dog Guides along with their handlers were busy socializing. The Newcastle Lions Club cooked over 300 hamburgers and hotdogs. Popcorn, freezies and of course birthday cake was enjoyed by everyone. Thank you to Mosque Masjid Alwadood in Orono for serving coffee, tea and the cake. For more pictures see page 4.
