Streetfest to host fundraiser
The North Huron Food Share is
hosting its annual Zero -K "non -
Race" Race in Blyth this year with
hopes of raising money to help
clients of the organization.
The event will be held as part of
the Blyth Business Improvement
Area's (BIA) Streetfest event on
Saturday, July 23. It will start at the
southern end of the celebration
which sees County Road 4, or
Queen Street, closed through the
commercial downtown of the
village.
The race, which has contestants
line up and take a single step which
crosses both the start and finish line,
focuses on contestants having a
good time and raising money
according to Organizer Avaline
Wandel.
Wandel says the event, which was
held as part of the Musical Muskrat
Festival in Wingham last year, was
moving to Blyth this year to spread
the word about the Food Share and
emphasize the impotance of
year-round support for the
organization.
"We had a fairly good response
last year and it was something we
had never tried before," Wandel said.
"This year we thought we would
take it to Blyth. We've had a little
more time to prepare, which is good
because summer is
always a slow time for people
donating."
Wandel explained that the group
would be accepting food donations
at the race's location.
Registration for the race is open
from noon to 12:45 p.m. the day of
the race and the race itself will start
at 1 p.m., rain or shine.
"We would like to see if we could
raise at least $3,000," Wandel said.
"That would buy a lot of groceries
for people in need"
Wandel explained that food goods
are welcome, but financial support is
just as important because the food
bank is able to work with local
suppliers to get deals on large
amounts of food.
"We shop the sales and work on
bulk purchases," she said. "That
makes money an important thing
and makes events like this very
important as well"
The race will be started by CKNX
AM 920 morning show host Buzz
Reynolds who has been a big
supporter of the Food Share and
participated in previous fundraisers.
Both individual competitors and
teams are welcome and pledge
sheets and information on the event
are available from the North Huron
Food Share or through Wandel at
519-357-2168.
I take my good works and my bad works!
(Thomas Guthrie, 1803-1873)
I remember reading the response of a godly man, when on his deathbed,
to his friends who spoke of the many good works he had performed.
"Good works! good works!" said the dying man, "I take my good works
and my bad works, and cast them into one heap out of my sight, and turn
to my only hope --the Cross of Christ!"
