Homecoming party will be live-streamed to hospital bed
Cheryl Parrot and Vance Fandry in less stressful times
The homecoming of Hintonburg’s best-known advocate will be celebrated in a get-well soon party expected to pack the Carleton Tavern on the evening of Thursday, June 11.
Cheryl Parrot of the Hintonburg Economic Development Committee (HEDC) was involved in a serious car accident while traveling in Saskatchewan this spring. Her many injuries included broken arms, broken legs, and a bruised lung.
Confined to the intensive care unit in Regina for many weeks, she has just been transferred to the trauma unit of the Ottawa Hospital. Though Parrot is still a long way from being mobile, organizer Lorrie Marlow reports that arrangements have been made for her to watch the party from her hospital bed via Skypecast.
“Those that know her know that Cheryl never wants to draw attention to herself personally, so we were a bit worried how she would take it, but she says is absolutely touched by this event”, Marlow reported, “and the response in the community has been tremendous. ”
The Appreciation Night for Cheryl and her partner Vance will run from 6.00 until 11.oo pm and feature the music of Midnight Mike. Many other local musicians are expected to be heard during the evening; all are donating their time and energy to the event.
