According to Donna Holmes, the Wolfville Community Christmas Dinner held on Christmas Day was a huge success. Says Holmes, “Wolfville people from all walks of life jam-packed the Lion’s Hall for a yummy xmas dinner full of chatting and music and laughter.  I knew so many people there, that it took me almost as long to get to my seat (exchanging greetings with people along the way) as it did to actually eat my dinner! Can’t wait to do it again next year!â€
On January 1, the Youcaring.com Fundraising Campaign: Our Hero Luke Needs a Lift ended, having earned a total of $25,517 towards the cost of an accessible van for Luke Sandford.

Sadly, the New Year’s Day Levee and Pancake Breakfast to be held at the Gaspereau Hall was cancelled. A facebook post from the Rolled Oat Cafe blamed “a water issue at the hall.†But on a brighter note, the Hupman Brothers Band New Years Eve dance was sold out well in advance!
