Brownies beautifywith hort. societyBy Kathy Workman May and early June found members of the Brussels and District Horticultural Society weeding, edging, mulching flowerbeds at the butterly garden, the gazebo on Turnberry and the beds at the conservation area. Girl Guides and Brownies are working in partnership with Horticulture members to plant and look after flowerbeds at the mill and in the conservation park. After all the hard work it was lots of fun to hold a plant auction at our May meeting. Judy Hahn and Jim Lee managed to pry cash out of members and guests, have fun doing it and send satisfied bidders home with the plant they most wanted. There was lots of learning on the part of both adults and the girls when the Brussels Brownies joined members to plant the wooden flower boxes along Turnberry Street. Some of the comments and questions were: Are there worms in here? This dirt is yucky after you put water in it. Why can’t we just plant the pot too? – I bet it would be faster. How come you know how to do this? Our thanks to Howard Martin, Jeff McGavin and Jason Crawford for their time, expertise and equipment when we needed help beyond our resources. Thanks to the Optimist Club for donating mulch. NEWS FROM BRUSSELS Doing the Yuppy General Manager of the Above the Falls Challenge Course Rob Bundy at the Benmiller Conservation Area in Benmiller taught students from Brussels Public School how people in different Canadian centres greet each other on June 7.

(Denny Scott photo) New eateries in Brussels, Blyth We’re back from a few days at McGregor Point, that’s the provincial park just to the south of Port Elgin. It’s a great spot for hearing birds, listening to the lake, biking, walking and of course reading. We were there during the Huron Fringe Bird Festival. There were many very serious birders in full birding gear who went on organized outings in the park as well as many treks that cover the whole area, including Tobermory. Checking the posted list was an education, as the birds and animals observed each day were all noted, we biked, they birded. The variety of birds in that small area was quite impressive. Food is on my mind this morning as I think about two establishments in our community. Good reports were received here about the newest restaurant in Blyth. The folks who have enjoyed our population in their Bed and Breakfast at The Station House have opened for our enjoyment at Part II Bistro, just across from the Blyth Festival. Good atmosphere, great food, neat details and competent staff were all mentioned to me. So keep up the good work Peter and Sarah Gusso. The next one for your eating pleasure is Treats On Turnberry. This is great – a new store in Brussels. The nice, new yellow painted front holds the surprises for your cravings. Karen and Kelly Quesenberry have taken the plunge and are ready to try the business world. They have many other treats Brussels Firefighters Breakfast Bring your father to the Brussels Fire Hall for breakfast Sunday, June 17 7:00 am - 11:00 am Donations only ABI’s AWESOME ANGELS WEEKEND TO END WOMEN’S CANCER would like to thank all of the businesses from Brussels area who generously donated to our fundraiser.
