Editor: “Thank you” to all the amazing and wonderful people who came out to enjoy our Happy Days Are Here Again event, held on Sunday Sept. 27 at the Twilight Drive-In Movie Theatre in Aldergrove.
It was awesome, to say the least, as we had a terrific turn out of people arriving in their classic cars and hot rods, dressed in vintage clothing and all ready to celebrate the 1950s and ‘60s with dancing, classic movies, burgers n’ fries, a “retro” silent auction, contests and more.
We had an honour guard with antique ambulances , and special guest speakers from Honour House, including an amazing help dog named ‘Hammer” who all the children instantly fell in love with.
None of this would have happened without the help of the many volunteers and sponsors who were more than willing to get involved with us and the Ron Dunkley Memorial Society to help create an event that would take people back to another era, when families played together, danced together, shared meals together and just plain had fun together. In all, $1,500 was raised for Honour House.
