Frank and John Flynn were out and about on Saturday for the annual Brussels village-wide yard sale, checking out what one resident had to offer. (Jim Brown photo) Village-wide yard sale makes Brussels busy Brussels was a busy spot Friday and Saturday. Sales were all over the place. At the market the good stuff was out for all to enjoy. First the visual impact of good things to see, then smell and with a little discernment then buy and enjoy. Lots of mingling and music, thanks Dale, Don and Ron. Another pleasant afternoon with the varied vendors. The yard/garage sales started on Friday and really got going on Saturday morning. It’s amazing how many cars stop to view the treasures. Smiling faces were seen all over as buyers and sellers each enjoyed the place of the item in their life. It’s the most fun way to recycle. Good news was shared this week as the gossip was confirmed. Michelle, Mike, Sarah and Andy will be our newest village business owners as they offer hardware and decorating items to us. Good luck, you’ll do great. Meanwhile Jim and Darlene Oldfield are seen out and about smiling a lot. Has it to do with the recent sale of their business to the Dauphin and Overholts or is it the new reality of Max who has recently entered their lives. Numerous pictures of an Alberta baby are available for your viewing pleasure. Be sure to ask and enjoy that look of love from new grandparents. EnjoyMax.The Blyth Festival Singersorganized a fun night on Saturday atthe Stanley Township complex called Broadway, Brass and Blues. Delicious food, a silent auction and wonderful music sent everyone away smiling. Familiar names of the choir who did the work include Agnes Schell, Joan Perrie, Yvonne Martin, Gail Lear, Jill and John Beardsley, Lena Seegers, Willi Laurie, Brenda Radford, James Mintz and George Ribey. Guest soloist Anne Potter is someone to watch – she is a very talented young lady. Renewable energy is a subject that can cause all sorts of reactions in people. We all have our sources and origins for our thoughts and the discussion rages on as it will for years to come. If you have a need for information about wind turbines, June 5 the UCW have organized an evening with Barbara Ashbee and David Hemingway sharing their views. So come to the United Church for 7 p.m. Enjoy the refreshments while you gain information. A new detail about Kids Corner. The staff from Camp Kintail will be offering the week of fun and Christian education for the kids in our lives this year. It starts at 1 p.m. on Aug. 13 and will run all the afternoons of that week. So that’s a change of date and staffing. So be sure to bring the grandkids, some of them may know the leaders if they attended Camp Kintail last year. So redo the calendar and don’t fret about looking at August already. Take care of yourself. Bye now, Betty G.W.
