Carole and Jack Morgan from Kansas were the first to stop in to register for the Nicolas Denys Days geo-caching event. The Morgans were taking their time visiting all the communities around Cape Breton and had extended their stay in each of the communities because they wanted to take part in events such as the Nicolas Denys Days. Two local teams who registered for the geo-caching were Leanne Landry & kids and Cathy McPhee and the McPhees.
Nicolas Denys Days really a hit with the visitors and locals alike. Monday the festival organizers had an excellent response for the sheep-shearing event as 91 people turned out to see the shearer in action, and one hundred and forty people turned out to take part in the pokerrun. The Ultimate Merchandise Bingo had an attendance of approximately 250 people. Way to go! This was a great response for the MacAskill fundraiser. On Tuesday, 60 children and their parents took part in the Teddy Bear Picnic, and the winner of this years War Canoe Race was the team of Soberly Challenged captained by Gloria Carter. Thursday's kids day event, all though being moved inside in case of iffy weather, turned out to be another success with over 50 children taking part in the events.
