 With a steady rain in the air, the 3rd Annual Rotary Golf Ball Drop fell out of the skies (sic) on Friday evening, September 21st as part of the Sackville Fall Fair.  Image  Here Rotarians Wayne, Dale, Mary (in the car) and Josh, along with Josh's girlfriend Sky wait for the big moment.  Josh volunteered to go up in the bucket to drop the balls, but the Fire Chief nixed the idea.  ImageImage  Four buckets of golf balls were dropped onto the very wet lawn of the former United Church mance.  Using a sophistocated piece of rope, Dale and Fundraising Chair Josh measured the ball that rolled the



 farthest from the stake.  Image  After all this measuring and remeasuring, contractor Drew Fraser won the first prize of $1,000.   Jeff Coates, theatre owner took the $500 second prize with musician and entrepreneur Shawn Bostick taking the $250 third prize home.   Two Wine Tasting Tickets for next year's event were won by Lynn Harrison (Pam Harrison's daughter-in-law, who also won money  a couple of years ago) and 4 tickets to the September 29th breakfast were going to go to Lawyer David Christie from Amherst.
