*************************

I love the idea that my City of Barrie mounted a contest to name our snow plows!
 
Shows that they have a good sense of humour, and we really need some levity to retain our sanity during COVID.
 
Now, I think the city should mount another contest to add a suitable cartoon to each snow-plow name.
 
We seem to have many creative artists here in Barrie; I am sure they would jump at the chance to show off their artistry and inventiveness.
 
So, how about it Jeff? Let’s mount another contest to add a cartoon to accompany each snow plow name.
