Cherrry Carnival 2012

Published July 24, 2012 by oddacity designs

 

Bear River has another Cherry Carnival under its belt for a total of 119.  The weather was perfect.

The photos tell the story….

The children’s parade starts it off….

And then the parade and greased pole!

The beginning…

.

…… the middle….

…. the end!

 

Ron Parks, Earl Waterman and Nathan Waterman entertain the crowd with some golden oldies!

 

Everyone loves the Fireman’s Canteen!

 

Jumping off some of that cotton candy energy!

 

Louise Woods gives some friendly tourism advice.

 

Remember: it’s all about helping the Fire Department!

 

and then of course the grand finale….the fireworks!

 

lighting up the sky.

A big thank you to the Bear River Volunteer Fire Department for all their hard work putting it all together!

 

 

 

 

 

History and Stories of Bear River: Ethel and Ancil Ellis

Published April 3, 2012 by oddacity designs

The most recent pamphlet we can find written by a resident of Bear River about the village is “History and Stories of Bear River, The Switzerland of Nova Scotia.”  

This wonderful glimpse of the village, complete with photos, was written in May,1977.  Here is it reproduced digitally for your enjoyment. Click on image to enlarge.

Unfortunately Ancil and Ethel Ellis have both passed on,  but with enough encouragement, maybe another “old timer” will tell you a few stories.
