Race volunteer Linda Goodyear was all smiles last Saturday as Targa Newfoundland made a special stop at Alderwood Estates in Witless Bay. Participants had planned to race through Witless Bay, but that did not go ahead as planned. A media person with Targa informed the Irish Loop Post that organizers were not confident that bulletins had been distributed to residents to inform them of the road closure. “The safety of residents, competitors and volunteers is our top priority,” read the statement. “We couldn’t risk that someone didn’t get the message about road closures despite our best efforts to get the word out through media and social media, so we opted for three demonstration laps as well as the car show we committed to at Alderwood Centre. That was a huge hit with centre residents, staff and neighbours.” Aggi Westcott photo
