Can they top this? Cody principal’s high bar for Spring Fair

Many will recall (top left) the Maurice Cody Spring Fair of two years ago when principal Robert Nigro agreed to get a cream pie in the face from his vice Adelia Vala. To say that it was a hit with the kids hardly describes the fun. The 2019 annual fair is set for May 25. Thanks to Mo Tantowi for the tip. Elsewhere locally, John Burns has posted this delightful American Goldfinch at the Leaside Instagram account. He reports they’re back at local feeders. Centre right, eminent Leaside baseball stalwart Howard Birnie has been inducted into the Toronto Sports Hall of Fame in the Community Sport Volunteer category. Across the bottom are notices of the Leaside Garden Society Sale May 11 and the Family Wellness Fair at Hodgson Middle School next Wednesday, May 8. Lower right, take a peek at old (and abandoned) Pottery Rd. It snaked its way down the valley before the Bayview Extension was built. Thanks to outdoorsman Rudy Limeback.
