The Blyth Festival Art Gallery is
looking for art hobbyists, amateur
crafters, professional artisans or
recognized visual artists. This is a
great opportunity for artists from
Huron County to get exposure to
local audience or maybe even have a
career breakthrough.
Area residents are invited to
submit one or two pieces in any
media for the Gallery’s 2012
Community Show. This is an annual,
non-juried exhibition and features
the creations of dozens of Huron
County’s professional and hobby
artists. The work will be accepted on
the morning of Saturday, May 19
and the show opens the same
evening in the Bainton Gallery,
situated in the Blyth Memorial Hall
beside the Festival box office.
The exhibition runs until June 15.
Included among the pieces on
exhibit will be a wide range of
media, from oil paintings and
acrylics to photography, ceramics
and glass. Not even the show curator
is ever sure what exactly will be
shown until the artists bring in their
creations on Saturday morning.
Artists are asked to bring their
works to the gallery between 9 a.m.
and noon. Two-dimensional pieces
must be framed or mounted suitable
for hanging and not exceed 36"x36".
Free-standing sculptures must be no
wider than 36". A nominal fee of
$10 per piece is charged and the
work will be included in the
exhibition. Parties interested in
buying a work of art will be directed
to the artist and no commission will
be charged. All art must remain in
the gallery for the complete length
of the show and must be picked up
on June 16.
Members of the public are invited
to meet the artists and join in the
festivities with family and friends at
the official opening reception on
Saturday, May 19 at 6 p.m.
Refreshments will be served. The
Bainton Gallery is open during
Blyth Festival box office business
hours.

The first meeting of the North
Huron Sheep Club was called to
order on April 18 at leader Margaret
Vincent’s home.
We started off the meeting by
playing a game to get to know each
other. Each member had to pick a
Smartie and answer the
corresponding questions. Questions
included what was your favourite
food; tell us about your family and a
country you would like to visit.
After the game we began discussing
what we are going to do this
year.
We talked about the Brussels
Lions Club elimination draw and
what we are going to do with the
money from the collected Ivomec
labels.
Once we finished with that, the
leaders opened the nominations for
elections. The president is Laura
Higgins; vice-president, Chelsey
Terpstra; secretary, Emma Enders;
press reporter, Johanna Blake and
snack officer, Matt Swart.
After the elections, the President
Laura Higgins led the 4-H pledge.
Next members had the roll call, with
the question “What do you want to
learn about this year?” We heard
answers such as lambing techniques,
market lambs and different breeds of
sheep.
Finally, members had a snack,
supplied by Margaret Vincent and
ended the meeting with the 4-H
motto, “Learn to Do by Doing”.
