FALL RIVER: After two months closed for renovations, the LWF Community Hall re-opened to an overwhelming response.

The hall, located at 843 Fall River Road, reopened during the Fall River and Riverlake District Lions Club Wing Night on Aug. 15.

The renovations saw the hall become more accessible, a new look bar, an expanded seating area allowing for more people to be able to come enjoy wings or other events held at the facility, more bathroom space, and more.

Most people were wowed at the new look of the hall inside.

There was musical entertainment from three local bands, while Paul Adlakha and Sandra Carr both spoke about what the renovations meant for the community owned facility.

“This is a community volunteer operated facility that is meant to be for the community,” said Carr, noting residents do not pay any taxes for it.

Let’s see how the night, which saw the Lions serve double their usual number of wing night meals, went.

Deputy Mayor Cathy Deagle Gammon; HRM Mayoral candidate Waye Mason; Liberal candidate Elizabeth Booth; and MLA Brian Wong and federal Conservative candidate Dave Carroll all stopped by to enjoy some wings.

The crew from MRS Construction, who helped do the renovation work, also got to enjoy some wings inside the new look hall.
