The mother of nine children, this former school teacher and reporter for the Halifax Chronicle Herald, both in Dartmouth and Truro and as a columnist for the Truro News. Her journalism experience has taken her to numerous Nova Scotia villages where—although not part of her assignment—she meticulously copied down the yarns and fables that local elders were eager to recount. Hattie was determined this local folklore should not go forgotten as generations passed. Books are available direct from the author. They are also sold at MacQuarrie’s (Truro), Anthony’s Freshmart (Kennetcook), Glooscap Trading Post, Glooscap Heritage Centre (Truro), Alderberry Village (Inglis St., Truro) and Shoppers Drug Mart (Truro).

Join us as we show our Pride in the parade on Saturday, July 13. We will once again be joining the Dal AC crew on their float (i.e. hay trailer and tractor!) as we party through the streets of Truro. The parade starts at 2:00pm and runs for about an hour, starting at the Colchester Legion Stadium parking lot, and ending at Civic Square. If you plan to participate on the float or walking beside it, please register now so we know numbers. You will have to choose to walk or ride, it is too dangerous to get on and off while the parade is in motion. Those people walking may hand out candy; it is not to be thrown from the float. You must be on the float and ready to go by 1:00pm that Saturday. For more information on the parade, please see their Facebook event, https://www.facebook.com/events/426759134574098/. I've got my rainbow tutu fluffed up and ready to go. Hope to see you there! |
