Family and friends gathered to celebrate the 53rd anniversary of Judy and Peter Buhrow of Clifford on Aug. 19 at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #296 in Harriston.
By 3pm, the party was in full swing with a snack buffet as well as a candy buffet for all those who felt the need to indulge. A cold plate dinner of ham, beef and salads was catered by the ladies of the legion auxiliary.
A decorated golden anniversary cake was served for dessert along with tuxedo cake and cherry layer cake.
Entertainer Monty Greig from Guelph kept the tunes playing, the songs heartfelt, and even added some flash and dash for excitement. Madison Buhrow-Hayes serenaded her grandparents with two special songs for their special day.
People twisted, shimmied, shook, and followed Monty in the congo line weaving their way through the tables and chairs.
Judy and Peter felt blessed to celebrate their 53rd anniversary with so many great neighbours and friends. They were even more grateful to daughters Lisa Buhrow and Sherrie Buhrow-Guthrie and their families for hosting such a marvellous party. The couple was married Feb. 4, 1965.
The couple were also quite pleased that many followed their request, “Your presence is the only present we need, although you could bring a gift for the Clifford Food Bank.”
Boxes and bags of food and envelopes of monetary donations filled the trolley cart and were transported to the food bank in Clifford. Representatives were quite impressed with the generosity of a caring community.
Happy anniversary to Judy and Peter, congratulations!
