Avery special happy birthday Shaun Gregory Huron Expositor Turning the big 60 can come with many surprises, one wife from the Seaforth area showed her husband, Robby Robbs something extra special on the front lawn of their home for his birthday. "I put out an email to the neighbourhood and said this is what I'm doing, if anybody has any bras that would be awesome," said Robb's wife, Rae Mahoney -Robbs Sep- tember 14. There was lots of feedback from the electronic post. One of Mahoney -Robbs' friend took the comedic pro- ject serious and purchased 40 brassieres from the local thrift shop and through the initial email 20 other com- rades joined the birthday festivity by donating 20 more. Waking up early, Mahoney -Robbs filled their yard with 60 of the items and then plastered the under garments in a line. "When you look at it, you can see where the rope has gone through the strap of the bras. I spread them out so you can see that they are pretty," stated Mahoney - ea orthhuronex.ositor.co Robbs from the Bridges. Mahoney -Robbs ended with saying the neighbours "loved it" and everyone had a laugh she said. Wednesday, September 21, 2016 • Huron Expositor 3 Seaforth joins the kidney charity trend Shaun Gregory Huron Expositor Reality Executives in Seaforth followed the char- ity trend of people fighting with kidney problems as they hosted a BBQ to help out with local Christopher Pennington. Last week the Brussels boy lent a hand to the Goderich Kidney Walk, which led to more than $ 11,000 in donations. John Steffler, Tracey Eck- ert and Brenda Campbell heard about a previous BBQ Pennington had done in Blyth at Scrimgeour's Food Market. "I thought `hey, wouldn't it be nice to help this young fellow out," stated Campbell during the BBQ on Sea- forth's main strip. "He's local and he's from Brussels." Scrimgeour's Food Mar- ket donated 300 hot dogs and 300 buns as well as the numerous condiments. Helping his father with the BBQ side of the event, at only 11 -years -old, Pen- nington was asked why he does this? "I just started doing this because I want to help other people that have the same problem," stated Pennington who has an auto -immune disorder known as Henoch- Schonlein Purpura. This is a condition that causes small blood vessels to become inflamed and aggravated. "I want to raise money so we can find a cure." The event raised $1,130 and Campbell said it will "100 per cent go" to Pen- nington's charity group known as Christopher's Crew. Shaun Gregory In the middle is Christopher Pennington, 11, from Brussels. He came to help in a BBQ hosted by the Reality Executives in Seaforth. All proceeds go towards the Kidney Foundation.
