On Saturday, September 17 the good Lord blessed us with a great day at the Niagara Wine and Grape Festival in St. Catharines. Under the leadership of Host Crier Mark Molnar, we lead a fantastic parade through an outstanding and extremely appreciative crowd with seven Criers and one super escort in attendanceÂ… yesÂ… Liz McKee !
Criers in attendance were: Mark Molnar, Bill McKee, David McKee, Derrick Tidd, Tony Vandermaas, Bruce Kruger and the newest member of the Guild, Ron Meisner, recently appointed Town Crier of Welland.
Ron is a retired school teacher and a tremendous addition to the Guild.
It was wonderful to meet him and we look forward to many more encounters with his friendship. RonÂ’s alter ego is Santa which he has not only the looks associated to this gentleman but he also has SantaÂ’s great gifted personality. Welcome Ron!
After the parade, we were treated to a super reception at the VIP HQ hosted by the Mayor of St. Catharines who was very hospitable. The wine and tidbits were great. All of the Criers in attendance wish to extend their most sincere gratitude to Mark for his wonderful oversight for this event.
