CLIFFORD – Seniors Centre for Excellence program coordinator Helen Edwards welcomed over 50 seniors to the lunch and learn program on Dec. 20 at the Knox United church in Clifford.
Mary Cain read a Robbie Burns poem before lunch.
The meal was prepared by Donna Gingrich and served with help from volunteer Faye Douglas.
Steven and Martina Hayward of Priceville entertained with a number of familiar toe tapping and hand clapping favourites with plenty of chances to sing-along. Steve plays the fiddle and Martine plays the keyboard and sings. They added a little French Canadian influence and tossed in a bit of a bayou flair for a couple songs.
Martina sang Mockingbird Hill and Steve played Listen to the Mockingbird on the fiddle. They opened the floor to dancing to some fine polkas and asked everyone to think back to the days of the Don Messer Jubilee as they played more fiddle tunes.
The Orange Blossom Special drew applause and they finished with The Old Rugged Cross.
The lunch and learn presentations are free; the meals at noon are $12. Sign up by calling 519-638-1000.
