Norma Tolhurst, Quebec 4-H
The 38th edition of the Quebec 4-H Provincial Rally, hosted by the clubs of the Chateauguay Valley, was held this year on home soil at the Ormstown Fairgrounds from July 17-20th. In honour of the 100 anniversary of the Ormstown fair held last month, the clubs of the Chateauguay Valley chose “country fairs” as this year’s theme. 

On July 12, car enthusiasts far and wide came to the Ormstown fairgrounds for a full day car show.  261 cars old and new, were registered for the show.

Sunday night at about 6:30PM, a mangled motorcycle was found on Highway 202 near Rang des Lemieux in Franklin. For an unknown reason, the driver lost control of the motorcycle, swerved and crashed inflicting serious injuries on both the passenger and driver.  Both victims, who live in Montérégie, were immediately taken to the hospital where the passenger, 31, succumbed to the injuries, while the driver’s, 44, condition stabilized. SQ investigators are looking into the unknown reason why the motorcycle lost control.
