"Organizers are sworn to secrecy about the nature of the challenges, and I'll only say that they promise to be even more fun for competi- tors than last year," said Genny Smith, race director. "This event really does have it all: It highlights all that Central Huron's businesses and community has to offer, it's a blast for teams of best friends and family, and it raises money for a cause that does so much good across this community:' For the second year, the United Way Perth Huron will receive funds to help improve lives and build strong local communities.

Blyth Festival Singers welcome new members to join Willie Laurie Special to the Expositor September is coming up fast! For some that means back to school time. But for the Blyth Festival Singers it's a callback to rehearsals for an exciting upcoming season. With the choir you get that same back to school feeling: seeing friends again, preparing to learn new things, getting new music like we used to get new books. In fact, choir is way better than the first day of school. It's like having the best class of the day all the time - music! And there are other perks. You don't have to ride the school bus but instead get to drive with your car pool buddies. There are no tests, no pass or fail - we all sing for own pleasure and learning at choir. We always get gold stars of achievement - from our very appreciative audiences. And no one has to eat soggy sandwiches either as we have awesome social nights once a month with the most delicious home- made goodies. Whatever your reason - we welcome and invite you to join the Singers for the exciting 2014-2105 season. It includes a go at the Messiah and other Christ- mas music for December, a musical tribute to the war years in the spring, and a showcase of up- and-coming young musi- cal talent at our May cabaret. Singing is good for the body and the soul, so treat yourself and join us, and be sure to invite your friends as well. We welcome singers of all abilities and ages. Reg- istration fees for high school students are half price and newcomers can give the choir a three- week trial. Choir registration and our first practice is on Wed., Sept. 3 in the June Hill Room, on the upper floor of the Blyth Festival administration offices. Registration starts at 7 p.m. with rehearsal from 7:30 to 9:30 pm. If you have a Messiah score, dig it out, dust it off and bring it along.
