The Town of Middleton’s centennial year — a year of celebrations has come to an end.

On behalf of the Centennial Committee, I would like to take this opportunity to look back and review the events throughout 2009 that the committee provided for the young to the young at heart. We started the year with a stormy walk into 2009 and some wine & cheese at the centennial kick off party. Had a laugh or two at the Yuk Yuks & Jimmy Flynn comedy nights. The birthday bash weekend brought parades, lots of great musical entertainment and amazing fireworks. Antique autos lined Commercial Street for all to enjoy during the car show. Over 70 cyclists endured the extreme heat of the summer’s day to participate in the inaugural Heart of the Valley Century ride. Games, BBQ & great music was provided & enjoyed at the Picnic in the Park. “Oyez Oyez Oyez” the Heart of the Valley International Town Criers Challenge brought Criers to Town from all across Canada and as far away as England. Other great events included Historic Suppers, Sons of Maxwell Christmas Concert and to say goodbye to 2009, we danced the evening away to Joker’s Right at the New Year eve’s bash.

I would like thank the committee members for all the long hours spent preparing these events. As well the many sponsors who, without their support, these events wouldn’t have happened. Finally I thank you, the public, for showing your community support as we celebrated Middleton’s Centennial.
