newcomers to the community and
also to remind those who have
helped for years, here is a brief
history of this annual event. It
started in 1949 and each year over
1,000 people sit down together at
one time over a traditional hot turkey
supper with the whole community
contributing time and food to make
this supper a huge success.
Last year was another great year
realizing a profit of approximately
$7,800. The proceeds go towards the
operating costs of the Belgrave
Community Centre, Arena and Park
and sponsor minor sports programs
throughout the year. Without thefowl supper, these areas might close.Tickets are available at our localstores. Please help when the
committees call on you.

junior men’s team in Galt from Sept.
27 to 29 in the Southern Ontario
Superspiel Qualifier. The team
finished first overall and advance to
the OVCA Superspiel in Ottawa
from Nov. 1 to 3 where they will be
competing against other junior
men’s teams from across
Canada and the U.S. Good luck
Matthew!
The community congratulates
Matthew and his team and wish
them all the best in Ottawa.

Gallery seeks artist creations for upcoming seasons
The Blyth Festival Art Gallery has
gained a reputation as one of the best
regional public galleries in the
province and it receives dozens of
requests each year from artists
wanting information on exhibiting
their work in Blyth. But the gallery
also wants to encourage local artists
to exhibit their work during the 2014
and 2015 seasons. Greg Sherwood,
head of the exhibition committee,
says, “There is an incredible
diversity of regional artistic talent in
our immediate area, so we’re putting
out a special call for submissions to
give our Huron County and area
artists the opportunity to exhibit
their work here at the Bainton
Gallery in Blyth.”
Besides the annual Community
Show, an open (non-juried) showing
of regional art work, and the Student
Show (works by Huron and Perth
high school art students), the gallery
mounts three special art exhibits
each year. Usually three weeks in
length, they may be solo, two-person
or group showings on a particular
theme. Individual artists or groups
are invited to submit a proposal to
the gallery for consideration for the
next two seasons. Work in any media
(painting, print making,
photography, textiles, ceramics,
sculpture, etc.) is acceptable and will
be selected on the basis of artistic
merit.
Application packages must
include the artist’s contact
information, current biography and
CV, an artist's statement and
exhibition concept. Quality images
of recent work in the same style as
will be represented in the show must
be submitted in hard copy form or
digitally on a CD/DVD to arrive by
Nov. 10. Submissions will be short-
listed and those artists will be
interviewed in their own studio by
the Blyth Exhibition Committee.
Submissions should be mailed to
Greg Sherwood, P.O. Box 1201,
Wingham, ON, N0G 2W0.

These smiling young ladies took a quick break from Maitland River Elementary School’s Terry
Fox Run on Thursday, Sept. 26, to pose for the cameras, while at the same time raising money
for a very worthy cause. Doing their best in the first annual run are, from left: Amelia Fehr,
