What a great community we live in. A new resident noticed the grain elevator garden needed some care and started working on pulling up the weeds. Some people stop and helped her. Gerry Wuis came to the rescue with his tractor and in no time got it done. Thank you Gerry and to the new member of our community. Welcome to Pontypool. We have a great community; I hope you love it here.

Stay safe and healthy.
