Letter to the Editor:

Very impressed by the first addition of The Manning Community News.

We live in Harrington and also love our town. At Harrington we not only have the beautiful Manning River but also the ocean with its ever rolling waves, sand dunes, dolphins, whales and excellent recreational fishing opportunities.

A visit to Wingham is always a pleasure because our eyes are opened to a much different scenario. There’s the wonderfully preserved courthouse and town hall reminding us of days gone by, the main street with its excellent shopping and restaurant venues and, of course, the bats who love to come and feast on our mangoes when in season.

We also have our town at heart and spend many tireless hours trying to convince council of improvements that could be made. Improvements are not just for us but the Manning Valley as a whole to encourage the tourism dollar.
