The never ending sound of jackhammers rattling though the office window emphasizes the fact that the rush to be ready for the up coming winter is well underway. The new construction in the area is starting to head skyward.
The Hirafu soccer team played a great tournament and managed a strong final place finish. It had nothing to do with the pink Jersey's maybe just a lack of fitness. Most went home with a bit of color in the skin or for the few like myself who are still white from winter a tint of red and the sting of slight sun burn.
Hirafu is a buzz with events and tournaments with everything from Jazz festivals and Golf days to Soft ball. There is a noticeable increase in visitors around town or maybe it is the locals coming out of winter hibernation. Add to that the local police who have come to town in preparation for the upcoming G8 summit, Hirafu is a busy and happening place for all to come and enjoy!
So as I sit here with my burnt skin gradually peeling away, I look forward to the next community event and hope to be seeing you all there!
