First Barn raising in Lunenburg County NS in 50 years!

First Barn raising in Lunenburg County NS in 50 years! Story by Heidi Petracek co host of CTV News Atlantic.. When i was a we had hordes of people in any one given community would show up and help raise a barn or house whenever disaster would strike ..The members of a community get together in a day or on a weekend to help a family that was devestated by fire or any disaster, by building a new house or barn for the family who would lose theirs.. . Today it is very rare to see one neighbor helping another sadly this is the way of the world most times now... Lunenburg County in NS did the first barn raising in 50 years..A local man lost everything in his hugh workshop by fire in August this year ..He owned a small and buggy business which seen thousands of visitors to NS hauled by and buggy through the town of Lunenburg and Basil would be at the reins proudly telling the visitors about the historical sites and the history of the town.. The business called Trot in Time has been around for a very long time and the loss of the building ended his business when a random spark from a torch started a massive fire and quickly ended in the building burning to the ground..Basil lost two beautiful antique carriages in the fire that can never be replaced , luckily the horses who hauled the carriages were not in danger and were out in the paddocks The people of the communities that seen the business grow congregated on a beautiful Fall day and in the run of the day hammered together a bran new barn .A dance after the barn was done was hosted by Basil in order to thank the volunteers as was the custom years ago to thank the people who put time and materials into building the new barn or house..the communities were all invited to attend and it was a smashing success.. Basil was quoted as saying" If I could find all of the words to express to everyone who participated how thankful I am for their hard work I would put them in one of my buggies , but i would never have enough horses to pull the load,"      |

True, we have the same situation down here, but if one doesn't express their opinion via voting then we deserve what we get.
