Cupids 400 – What's Happening

Welcoming 2010 in Cupids, Newfoundland and Labrador!

Happy Faces Greeting 2010.

Happy Faces Greeting 2010.

New Year’s Celebrations were awaited with more than usual excitement in the town of Cupids this year, because 2010 is the 400th anniversary of the town, the first permanent English settlement in Canada.

Cupids 400 Inc planned a large “party”  with early evening events for families with children, and later evening events for adults, culminating with a spectacular fireworks display.  They advertised the event widely in the local press and through Twitter and Facebook, explaining that roads would be barricaded, and that there would be an organized shuttle service to bring people to the site of the celebrations in the middle of town.

New Year’s Eve was exceptionally cold, but the sky was bright and clear, and the celebrations kept everyone warm. Organizers were pleased with the strong community and regional turnout.  People came from communities throughout the Northerm Avalon, drawn by the promise of a good time, live music, family celebrations and spectacular fireworks. With a well planned and efficient shuttle service in place, the event suffered none of the potential traffic snarls and congestion.

A special family celebration began the evening with entertainment that included kid friendly activities and performances, free treats and a special fireworks display.

The adult portion of the evening’s festivities was highlighted by live entertainment, hot food, heated tents to take shelter from the crisp night, capped by a dazzling 18-minute fireworks display at the stroke of midnight.

The whole event was an auspicious beginning to an exiting year for the town of Cupids.

  7. I’m at present working on task for my computer school, we are beginning to learn about some coding together with simple web development. I have to setup a blogging site, was planning on utilizing wordpress as the platform it seems to be amongst the most common. Your entire blog site appears to having a customized style plus some additional html coding did you complete the work yourself or retain the services of a programmer? Is extremely good over-all layout seems extremely user friendly! Anyways I might use your actual website as a reference, of course not duplicate it as that is certainly against our course regulations and also the law I do believe!
