Hometown in the spring

• Yes it sure is
• Yes I agree with you guys
• I remember when I was little
• A regular occurrence every spring. Remember it well.
• Remember it well
• I remember that
• As a kid it was all so exciting. But it was devastating for some.😥
• I remember they had to blast the ice with dynomite.
• I remember this well
• So So Remember this would walk down to the bridge every year to see the ice flows. Kids would try out their new rubber boots and make boats out of sticks & have races to see who's would go farther. Always got soakers!
• yup remember it well , wonder does it still get this bad ,been gone from ontario over 20 yrs
• nope. There doesn't seem to be enough water/snow anymore Billy.
• times have really changed
  
• Remember this well!
• Remember skating on over flow
• Remember this
• Can't remember the year but my Sister got stuck at a friends house for a couple of days it was so bad
• Mike Marko used to do the dynamite at one time
• Thanks It was Mike Marko I have been trying to remember that for days.
• Couldn’t get over the old iron bridge by Preston’s
• Remember it very well
• So much fun when you're a kid.
• Days off school were always fun.
• What did they do, so that this doesn't happen anymore??
• I believe it has something to do with the paper mill dam.
  
• I seem to remember years ago the river bed being dredged out from the north side of the bridge down toward the Papermill Dam but not sure how far they went. I would imagine that would be filled in now by Mother Nature. I know it's not very deep along there. The river doesnt flow like it used to now.
• Brings back a lot of memories
• I think they changed the course of the river in those days but like Chris said it’s all grown in again
• How well I remember them.
• This happened numerous times before the town lowered the dam for spring run off.
• I remember this so well was my kids entertainment were not allowed to cross the bridge so no school
