On Sunday July 2nd the Marten River Fire Department hosted an all you can eat pancake and sausage breakfast at the Rockpine Motel & Restaurant. It was a great success and was very well attended.
On the same day I went to a 60th birthday celebration for Albert Cloet, arranged and put on by Dorothy Cloet and their family. It was wonderful to see some of the sisters there. The food was delicious and we all had a great time.
