Blyth 140th dance scratched, scavenger hunt added
By Denny Scott
The Citizen
The Blyth 140th Anniversary
celebration scheduled for July 29
and 30 has undergone several
changes in the past few weeks.
The most significant of the changes
is that the Saturday night dance has
been cancelled as a result of
complications with the musical act.
"We're not going to have a dance,"
explains committee member Vicky
Bremner. "Blyth Cowbell Brewing
Company will be doing an afternoon
event, and we will still have a
barbecue for dinner, but there won't
be the dance."
The afternoon event will include
musician Kendall Jardin of Belgrave
playing music. Jardin regularly plays
at Knox Presbyterian Church in
Belgrave and Bremner said that
Jardin has played in the village
before, participating in Buskerfest,
the pre -cursor to the Blyth Business
Improvement Area's (BIA)
Streetfest, which is scheduled for the
same weekend.
A family -friendly movie hosted by
the Huron County Health Unit on
Friday evening has been moved to
Lions Park if weather allows. In the
Proud to be Canadian
The Blyth and Londesboro and District Lions Clubs made their annual Proud to be Canadian
presentation to the Grade 1 class at Hullett Central Public School, presenting the students
with a Canadian flag and a certificate that proclaimed the students were proud to be
Canadian. Making the presentation on behalf of the Lions were Victoria Sider, left, and Mary
Lou Stewart. (Photo submitted)

event of inclement weather, the
movie will be moved indoors.
Bremner also explained that there
have been several additions to the
weekend schedule including a
scavenger hunt designed to get
participants into Blyth's downtown
businesses on Saturday during
Streetfest.
Another event that has been added
in the village's downtown core is a
special historical display at the
former home of Sharon's Cars in
Miniature at 432 Queen Street.
Bremner said local historian and
North Huron Councillor Brock
Vodden is providing the historical
items for the display and will
be on-site to discuss the village's
history.
Another addition to the agenda is
that the Blyth Lions Park pool will
be open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on
Saturday and Sunday of the event.
Bremner, the President of the Blyth
Lions Club, explained it isn't
normally open on weekends.
The events on Sunday, including a
church service at Lions Park,
followed by a bring -your -own picnic
family event, will stay the same. The
rain location for the church service is
the Blyth Christian Reformed
Church on main street.

The chief burden of the Lord's children
(Philpot, "Meditations on the Adorable Redeemer")
The chief burden of the Lord's children is sin. This is the main cause
of all their sighs and groans, from the first quickening breath of the Spirit
of God in their hearts until they lay down their bodies in dust.
