Except for a brief shower in the mid- afternoon, Sunday was sunny and warm for this year’s May Day Festival in Vankleek Hill. “It was a wonderful day,” said Samme Putzel, of Excellent Events, the special event coordinating group for Champlain Township. “There were lots of vendors and lots of things to see and do,” she said. “Everyone was very positive. People were so happy to be able to get out on the street again.” Several dozen kiosks and booths lined VQBMPOH.BJO4USFFUGSPNUIF)JHI4USFFU and County Road 10 intersection. During the morning and afternoon residents and visitors to the village enjoyed live entertain- ment courtesy of several local bands and dance groups.
