could not have happened without the dedication of the

past; they are working to bring the town into the future,
by educating community members about the possibilities of
computer technology. To find out more about exciting

Edward Island Folklore
Pendergast, Gertrude. A Good Time Was Had By All.
Pendergast, James and Gertrude. Folklore, Prince Edward Island.
We would like to extend a special recognition to these two books, which have done much to preserve the Kensington and Island folklore and also relate it in a colorful and lively way. These volumes were used extensively by our writers, as we attempted to find stories to flesh out the name and dates of our community history. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the folklore collections of the Pendergasts.
