OK, so we don't really mean it. Compared with mid-February when we were scouring town for anything that resembled activity other than falling snow, this time of year is a dream. But the activity has been non-stop for weeks now culminating in three local high school proms in 24 hours.

That's on top of one weekend event after another: the day-long Fredericton District Soccer Association's annual skills & drills day with 1,200 youth players, Riverfest 2007, the 2nd Annual Maritime Countryfest, the open house at the new Remax offices and Jim Gilbert's Family Fun Days. This weekend, the New Brunswick Youth Orchestra is in town preparing for their trip to China while bluegrass fans will be taking in the first annual festival at Woolastook Park sponsored by RV World.

Our cameras are nearing meltdown, but in general, it's been a great experience: we've met dozens of friendly, talented people of all ages who make this one of the best places in the world in which to live and work. (Yeah, yeah, you've heard that before, but this is coming from a guy who's lived in five countries and more than a dozen towns and cities. This place is a gem...)

So to all of you who've supported our efforts, helped us get into our eighth month of operation, and given us such useful advice and feedback along the way:

Thanks, Fredericton (and Oromocto and Lincoln and New Maryland)....all of us here at justFRED.ca take our hats off to you. Now take a well deserved bow.

Cheers,
George
