"For the fourth year in a row the students of Bell Ewart Public School won the Innisfil Winterama snow sculpture competition. This year the school's 90 students decided to immortalize Mother Goose and two of her nursery rhymes in snow. The students constructed a huge goose, Humpty Dumpty and his wall and Jack B. Nimble and his candlestick. These seven students were co-ordinators of the projects: Tracy Wilson, Jody Kerr, Leslie Richardson, Barb Haddock, Richard Anderson, Paul Morris and Kim Ferrier."
Thomas Jr. was the son of Eliza "Elizabeth" Jane Averill (nee Lee) (1822-1905) and Thomas Averill Sr. (1814-1895). Eliza was the daughter of John Lee (1795-1851) and Jane Coulson (1791-1860).
"Innisfil township's first historical plaque was unveiled Sunday afternoon at the farm of Harold Webb on the 13th concession. The plaque commemorates Innisfil's part in 1853, of supplying the tree that would be the mast for the largest ship in the world -- the 693-foot Great Eastern. This 120 foot log was hauled to the water by ten teams of horses. The plaque was unveiled by Hilton and Judy Webb, fourth and fifth generation members of the Webb family."
