How Curtis Spent His March Break

Do you remember when you had to write a short story titled “How I Spent My March Break” when you returned to school?  Well here’s what Curtis did on his March Break:
 
The East Gwillimbury Public Library organized many activities over the March Break under the general theme of “Farming.”   Curtis was very happy to assist young farming enthusiasts learn all about tractors at a special event where he read them stories about tractors and answered many questions to satisfy their curious minds.
 
Thank you to the library staff for including us in this wonderful, educational event that promoted learning about farming in our rural community.  We can’t wait to come and visit you again!  You can visit “Farming Equipment” to see pictures and videos of our tractors and farming equipment in action.

BJ’s Christmas Parka Story

This story I wrote was just published in the December edition of the East Gwillimbury Bulletin magazine.  I was asked to write about my most cherished Christmas memory, but instead I chose to write about my most vivid Christmas memory.  It dates back to 1974 when I was just 4 years old, and it’s all about the year I was naughty.  And yes…every single word is true!  You can visit “BJ’s Christmas Story” to read about my story about my beautiful Christmas tree that was published last year in the same magazine.

Many thanks to editor Blair at the East Gwillimbury Bulletin who asked me to write another story for our town’s monthly newspaper.  This time the article was for the Father’s Day section of the newspaper.   Reflecting on the experiences I had with my dad and the influences my father had on my life was a truly wonderful trip down memory lane.  I hope all of you have a chance to celebrate your dad today! You can visit “BJ’s Christmas Story” to read an article I wrote for the December edition of the Bulletin newspaper.

I was very flattered when I was invited to submit a story to the East Gwillimbury Bulletin magazine reminiscing about some of my favourite Christmas memories.  This was a very easy story for me to write as I have an incredible passion for my Christmas tree (as everyone who knows me will quickly confirm.)  May you have something as special in your life as my tree.  Merry Christmas! You can visit “Spud-tacular” to read an article about myself that appeared in the October edition of the Bulletin magazine.
