A Day to Call our Own, How `Wrestling Day` became to be. This Day was derived from the creative minds of 2 early mechants named Alistair MacKenzie & Sid Western. On a cold January 2nd, both men sat against their frosty shop windows & watched the snowflakes whiten the countryside without a single soul in sight. They both agreed that this day must be made a unique one whereby no man & women should work, but should be in the warm embrace of their loved ones. The community made a `gentlemen`s agreement` to which everyone honoured the notion that Wrestling Day was a holiday to be spent in leisure. As Boxing Day follows Christmas Day, the day to follow New Year`s Day seemed fit to be named `Wrestling Day` This day actually became enshrined in a by-law in 1959. One Mayor in the 1970`s attempted to end this holiday, but the community prevented him. The hard-working men & women who worked their hands to the bone to reach even a minimal prosperity deserved another day of relaxation.
