(Denny Scott photo) At the Branch A NOTE FROM BETTY By Betty Graber Watson Call 887-9231 Have you taken the time to really see the green in our lives? Driving the countryside or checking the backyard, the vibrant shades of green are evident. The different crops, the grasses and the trees all hold their own hue. Together they are awesome. So as much as we mutter about the rain, and the mosquitoes, the good part is there as well. The purpose of Kids' Corner is to see the people in our community as friends, to help someone and to learn something new. For another year, it worked. Last week, the days looked as though fun was being had, as stories and songs were shared. A bonus, the North Huron Food Share has $500 more to do its work, from the daily offering. So thanks to the children, the volunteers and the Kintail on the Road crew, another good week. The International Plowing Match is fast approaching and promotion is part of the game. Volunteers for the IPM attended the Brussels Farmers' Market on Friday to share information and to show the many articles available to wear while promoting the upcoming match. The barn quilt idea is another way to promote the match so take time as you're driving about to admire the many fine barn quilts in our area. Fiddle music must be good for the appetite. The Lions sponsored their annual jamboree on Sunday and it Tournament volunteers sought By Jo -Ann McDonald The sign-up sheet is coming along for the food booth at the Brussels Tigers annual fastball tournament this weekend, but with only a few members calling to volunteer. Sandra is calling to fill in the time spaces that need workers, so be ready for the call. Congratulations to Ryan Jacklin, yet again, as he continues to have fantastic success in his track and field endeavours. Ryan scored triple gold in the Provincial Legion Track and Field competition in Windsor last week. He is now a member of the Ontario team, which will travel to Manitoba for competition in early August. Good luck to Ryan! The Saturday afternoon euchre had 10 tables of players at play. Comrades Dianne Huether and Deb Cann were in charge for the day. Winners were: first, Bruce and Joan, 81; second, John and Iola Subject, 72; third, Harold and Nancy, 70; low, Jean and Alice, 38; lone hands, Mac and Lillian, five. Euchre is every two weeks. The Sunday night dance had a good crowd of about 70 people to enjoy the music of Crippled Duck. A fine job by the dedicated Sunday night girls of Judy Lee, Mabel Glanville, Mary Bradshaw and Jo- Ann McDonald. Bartending duties were handled by Ron and Daisy Schmidt. There is a busy weekend ahead as well as a busy month. The Brussels Legion Branch continues its fundraising efforts by hosting two Blyth Festival dinners, a new venture for the Branch and has three fish fry dinners ahead, two euchres and one dance in August. That should keep everyone out of trouble and busy. The Branch will be looking for help for many of these events. eataetvua#t peat d, eaje presents Sandy MacDonald & Danielle Doel FRIDAY, AUGUST 11 - 8:30 pm at the former Duff's United Church, Walton Two seatings for dinner at cafe prior to show: 6:00 & 7:15 pm Dinner Menu: Oven BBQ Chicken and Ribs Reservations are recommended - Take out available CAFE More than just a great sandwich! 401 Turnberry St., Brussels 1 519-887-80111 I Brussels Fall Fair • Ambassador of the Fair Competition Saturday, August 12 Brussels Legion 7:00 p.m. Hall open to public Admission by donation 7:30 p.m. Contestant Speeches Crowning Ceremony to follow Refreshments and Social Time to follow was a toe -tapping time and the meat on a bun was so popular that it was pretty well devoured by supper time. Sounds like a success to me. For the gardeners in our midst, the sight of the first ripe tomato is celebration time. What's even better is to be the neighbour of a gardener and be privileged to be part of that sharing. Thanks, Edith, John and Jason. Plans are flying about as specific and personal summer holiday time approaches. Cottages, camping, motels, bed and breakfasts are all part of the summer plans that are being nailed down as the days approach. What fun. Water, zoos, caves, theme parks, hikes and bikes are all in the mix of summer entertainment. Have a good time wherever your plans take you. Bye now, Betty G.W.
