Hornby Island Graduates 2011

Every year the community has the wonderful opportunity to see the Hornby grads in their fancy clothes at the Hornby Preschool Fashion Show.  This year's graduates are:

Faron Crowe, Jenessa Tuele, Max Nawrot, Brittany McKenna & Bryn Nightingale-Bohn

A special treat this year was Annie Fearman's "Oprah Moment".
Annie organized a "shower" of presents for the new graduates.

Ringside Changes - The Gas Bar Building is moved!

The Gas Bar Building moves and opens up the Ringside Market 

With the help of many it is moved uneventfully!

It is now situated where the propane tank was.  This is going to be a nice change for the Ringside.  It opens up for more green space

The Last Shoes of Professor Marvellian

A true Hornby production was presented to us this past weekend.  A play titled "The Last Shoes of Professor Marvellian" was performed by an all age cast. 

Spearheaded by Andrea Kaback with many, many fellow workers, this play was truely magical. Starring Richard Laskin, Zsofin Sheehy, Lorne Sutherland and a very large group of amazing youth.

Thank you for bringing this enchanting and literally magical performance for our enjoyment.

Christmas Market - (Hornby's Mall)

The weather was delightful (not frightful) for our annual Christmas Market in the Ringside.

A very good turnout for our Christmas Market in the Ringside.  Late night shopping and visiting with neightbours while we were graced by the voices of one of Hornby's delightful choirs.

It was a magical setting, lit by a new moon, Christmas lights, tea lights and a fire.  Thank you to Chef Bens, Lix, Fibers, 32 Books & Coast Realty for their generous gifts for the draws.

November Snow

Even though they talk about us being in a rain shadow (less rain than mainland or Vancouver Island), Hornby also had a few days of this very early snowfall. Our small island is such a wonderful place to be even on wintery days like this.
