A Glorious Old Day at Heritage Heights Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent There is a charm to the olden days which is simple and pure. The September 26’s Heritage House Open House and Vintage Car Show catered to this era when they invited everyone to a free (complimentary) barbecue with free draws for many door prizes, a vintage and classic vehicle show where Vegreville Iron Runners Club, The Garage Inc, and Vegreville Regional Museum bought in their vehicles to showcase. To add a special touch, resident from Heritage House, Lillian Hohn, and resident from Heritage Heights, Hazel Ernst wore vintage clothing. As well, Bob Ashmead (that Bob Guy) and Charlie Gargus entertained everyone when they sang old-time songs.
Heritage House made sure to buy the food and material for the barbecue locally and there was a collection for Vegreville Food Bank too. There were also tours available to see Heritage Heights (a beautiful independent living facility). A nd a bus full of people from Edmonton Heritage Seniors DropIn Centre and Mary Immaculate Care traveled to Vegreville for this celebration. Heritage Heights also took up a collection for Vegreville Food Bank where they will be donating $277 to the food bank as well as a bin of food from the event, RJV Gas Services presented them a cheque for $150 and there were other random cash and cheque donations.
