Our facility consists of two floors. The lower floor is where you will find the Lounge.
Here is where you will find dartboards, two huge pool tables, a dance floor, comfy chairs, televisions,
areas to play Euchre, Crib, or your favourite game or activity perhaps - please tell us! There is also a covered
patio to socialize and on those days the BBQ is out, the added ambience of those lazy hazy days of summer!
The upper floor is the large hall we have dedicated as the George Swift Memorial Hall.
It has a beautiful dance floor, a stage, lower and upper level, and a HUGE kitchen!
