We received a warm welcome from Blind River Curling Club, for a break in our journey from Espanola to Saulte St. Marie. We didn't curl here but had an enjoyable time with some excellent singing from our hosts, which provoked some impromptu dancing. A folk group called "the guys" gave us Scottish songs, including Loch Lomond and one from Newfoundland. Country singer Fern McCoy sang a couple of songs including one from Neil Young, who was once stranded in Blind River when his car broke down in 1962. A female group then gave us some lively songs. We were able to respond with songs from our own songbook. Snacks were provided which included a French Canadian pastry called Pettes de Soeurs or Nuns' farts. These had been specially baked by Lorraine Joffrey and thankfully they were delicious and tasted nothing like their name!
