​​I love Motmots ... or Bobo's as they are sometimes called. Momotidae Coraciiformes.

To donate blood, you must be between 18 and 65 and weigh more than 110 pounds. For hair donations, hair should be 8 inches or longer. This is always a wonderful community event.

Urgently needed a good home for my sweet girls, must return to Canada March 1st. On the left is Roxies and her sister Bella on the right. They are 4 years old, healthy, fixed and so very sweet. Great companions and security for your home. Would prefer to adopt them together but will consider separating them if a must. They are great and easy to walk both on a leash as well. Please call for more details 8344 3930 or cthibault333@yahoo.ca. Check Furry Friends for photos.

Afternoon Blues Live! every Friday 3:30 - 5:30 pm at Rock 'n Roll (across from Lucky's Casino).
