See the many other exciting things O’Donnell’s have to offer (www.odonnellscottages.com), then give them a call at 1-800-563-8724 to reserve your rooms.

• Start thinking about competing in the 2008 MIRAMICHI LUMBERJACK COMPETITION to be held on Saturday, September 20 (rain date - Sunday, September 21) on the grounds of the Atlantic Salmon Museum, 263 Main Street, Doaktown.  The Organizing Committee has gone all out this year with lots of events for both adults and novices.  They’ve even brought in – especially from New Zealand – a brand new Tuatahi M-Tooth Racing Saw for you to use in the crosscut competitions.  Have a look at the list of events and at the rules designed to keep everything “honest.”  Give Darren Colford a call at (506) 365-1912 or e-mail him at Darren_Colford@hotmail.com for further information, and we’ll see you at the Official Registration on Saturday, September 20 starting at 9:30 a.m.
