Dorintosh celebrates 80-year anniversary
There was music, plenty of food, displays, smiles, hugs and much to celebrate as the Village of Dorintosh celebrated 80 years as a community last weekend.
The event took place Saturday, August 5, with a variety of activities which included a horseshoe tournament, a quilt show, artifacts from the community, a large potluck supper and much socializing among those who made it out to the celebration. Members of the Lions Club took part in the event as well.
Long-time resident Mary Anne Schwartz helped organize the event and said well over 100 people stopped by the village hall throughout the day.
“All the people that came was a highlight,” she said. “I am very happy about how things went, people enjoyed it and had lots of laughs. The furthest person came from seven hours away. Joe Twidale and Adrienne Ouellette were great as emcees as well. Sandra Bannister from village council was here, and she’s been on council for 27 years, which is wonderful.”
