Maybe this is what inspired #quidditch? And they are not wearing helmets so they better not miss. There is not a day that goes by where I don't learn something new from our holdings in @elginarchives but this one, well.... You really can't make this stuff up.

[Elgin County Archives @elginarchives]

Kicking off today's #ArchivesHashtagParty with a game of Hook Check on the former tannery grounds in St. Thomas (the present day location of City Hall), in ca. 1895. The objective of the game was to catch a wire hook on their broomsticks. #archivesgames

This means even more to me now as we mourn The Rt. Hon. Brian Mulroney.

[Brian Masschaele @brianmasschaele]

Merry Christmas! My family was good to me but this gift was special. I asked @JeffYurekMPP to get this signed for me. I then forgot about it but he dropped this off yesterday to my wife which she gave me today. I am a political junkie so this means a lot. Thanks Jeff.

Proud of our main office team @elginarchives @Elgin_Museum @LibrElginCounty and all we accomplished together in 2023. See you all in 2024 and have a Happy Holiday!

Well done Tysha and @elginarchives. Scanning original newspapers is not easy but the results are amazing and have generated lots of use because of keyword searching ability. Thank you Blidner Foundation for supporting this project and more to come in 2024!

You’ve earned all this coverage my friend. You’ve come a long way since you graduated from our high school @inportdover to take a chance on a scholarship in Charleston WV and then on UTEP.

Thanks @SCOREGolf for highlighting my work and some of my amazing students

Boys were good to me but this is the best Father’s Day gift, just being home and being a family.

Congratulations Ellen! I knew I left the job in good hands but wow, what a career you’ve had so far and more to come! @AAO_tweet

[Brian Masschaele @brianmasschaele]

A former St. Thomas Star keeps the Knights alive. He was traded to the Stratford Warriors for forward Seth Huygen at the end of November.

[Brian Masschaele @brianmasschaele]

What a great event for our current and former staff. We were asked to make a goofy smile in the group photo but I might have been the only one who didn’t listen. That is my normal smile. Great to see everyone.

[ElginCountyLibrary @LibrElginCounty]

Yesterday we had a Staff Reunion at the Aylmer Library, and welcomed back lots of retired staff. We shared stories and photographs and some treats from local shops. It was so nice to see everyone!

[Brian Masschaele @brianmasschaele]

@LibrElginCounty too!

Wow Ralph I had no idea that this fun course that so many of us played on and nurtured a future star like you - you're welcome - is no more. It looks wide open for that #warof1812 invasion now which almost happened on that very spot! A story for another day...

[Ralph Bauer @cdngolfcoach]

Great hanging out with @YoungerGolf on the now abandoned Turkey Point Golf Course. Where I learned how to play. Rick is standing on the site of his first eagle 🦅 he got when he was 10.
