Arrows!

These are two of the targets that will be on the course May 1st for our 3rd Annual Archery Tournament at Logging Chain Lodge.

Event goes, rain or shine. Lunch is available. We've got fabulous door prizes and a silent auction. The course is second to none, and gets rave reviews every year from the participants.

Come on over! Even if you are not a budding Robin Hood, you'll enjoy watching the activity at the resort!

Thanks again to the Friend of the Library, and to Logging Chain Lodge, for organizing this event!

What a Wonderful Day

Despite rain that swept in over the lunch break, the 3D Archery Tournament run by the Dwight Friends of the Library on May 2nd was a huge success.

Thank you to the Friends, who came out to volunteer on the day, providing us with everything from scorers to chili-makers (three different types of chili, including veggie chili and spicy moose chili!)

Thank you of course to Logging Chain Lodge, and especially to Ross and Anne Marie who provided us with such an excellent venue, and who worked overtime to ensure the target lanes were in perfect condition.

There are more photos over on the Bondi Resort Blog, including a great one of Kelly, one of our valued library "Friends" trying her hand with a bow!

Peggy, despite her vow that she would spend the day in the Chair Blind which was donated for the raffle, was out and about. Perhaps because the blind was just jumping with a whole passle of young ladies who were giggling inside it during one of the storm showers!

89 participants registered to try their aim on the 20 target course. All ages were represented, and it was wonderful to see the young girls and lads shooting target side by side with their parents and grandparents! Truly, a sport for everyone!

All styles of bows were on display, and the rain didn't dampen anyone's spirits!

Thanks to everyone for helping with this, and for attending. We look forward to seeing all of you -- and your friends and some newcomers -- out for the Third Annual Tournament NEXT spring!

Twaaaaang! It's the Archery Competition!

Our Second Annual 3D Archery Competition is coming up soon. May 2nd, at Logging Chain Lodge.

This is a fundraiser organized by the Friends of the Dwight Library, perhaps our most favourite group... it's a great fun day, for all ages and abilities.

Right now, as part of the fundraising, we're raffling off a chair blind. What is that, you ask?

Well, it's here in the photo... a camoflaged hideaway where hunters can sit hidden while they try to lure game close enough for a bow-shot (which is not as easy as it sounds when written down).

It's also a cool place for someone who just wants a quiet, hidden hidey-hole, perhaps at the cottage, a place where they can retreat with a good book and just not be found.

Tickets are available at the library, and the draw will take place at the Archery Tournament.
