Skating on the Bay at sunset
There were many people enjoying the ice on the Bay of Quinte today: the photo shows some youngsters skating on what was once the log pond beside Mill Street in Deseronto. It brought to mind an advertisement from The Tribune of December 9th, 1892, which was encouraging parents to buy skates from the Anderson and Miller store on Main Street as a Christmas gift for their children.
The Bay is Frozen
I’m not sure how thrilled their mothers would be at getting “the latest improved Washer and Wringer”, though.

Maybe if I leave enough cookies santa will bring me a pair of Club Skates.
That’s a lovely photo of the Bay.
Merry Christmas.
