The Cadet Corp met at the Branch
for range shooting practice and for
trekking in the afternoon. They had
lunch at the Branch consisting of
meal packs, regular issue for troops.
Everything needed for a mealcontained in a 6x10x1-inch package.Pasta, bread, jam, dessert and more.Saturday was the last HuronCounty darts to be held at the
Brussels Branch for the year. There
was over 40 men enjoying the last
day and a small tournament was held
for the group at the end of the day.
The Fish Fry crew started off the
season with the first fry of the year at
Grey Central School for the Grade 8
graduation class. They were raising
funds for their year-end trip. The day
turned out great with over 280
people supporting the cause for the
Grade 8s.
The silent auction is this week and
doors will open at 10 a.m. for baking
items on Saturday morning. The
auction will run until 4 p.m.
The spring flowers are all set to
strut their stuff, as each day a new
colour opens up to the world. Spring
is such a magical time, each trip
outdoors shows another sign of new
life and growth. Winter crops in the
fields let the world know that the
earth is warming as the green living
colour spreads over the entire
surface. Forgotten bulbs pop up in
the warmth of the sun causing a
surprise smile. A nice fat robin in the
birdbath having an energetic bath
causes giggles from the grandgirls
here on Sunday. Oh the marvels of
spring.
The Optimist Club are not holding
back on their plans to upgrade
Victoria Park. The bleachers are
down and the new plans are getting
final thoughts. Work bees are in the
works. The work of this project is
another reminder of how fortunate
we are to have such community-
minded, committed, energetic
citizens in our midst. The land for
this park was part of the original
setup of our village prior to 1872
and it is good to know that this same
land is still considered to be an
important part of our community.
Life is good.
Lots of people had their education
in gold and silver on Saturday as
staff from Canadian Gold Exchange
examined pieces of personal history
for a monetary value. Magnets,
lights, etching, electronic devices
and magnification were all used as
each piece offered was examined.
Tea services, coins, table pieces and
pieces of jewellery were all brought
for evaluation. Money changed
hands and the United Church was a
little richer from this very
interesting, afternoon experience.
Spring gets the world moving, you
see your neighbours out and about,
the bikes and blades are in full use
and families are out for a nice stroll.
Spring is such a social time.
Submissions are needed for
Citizen of the Year, so get out your
pen and tell the world about the
person that makes your world a
better place. They’re worth it.
With spring comes all sorts of neat
things to do, see and eat, so check
the ads in the Citizen and mark your
calendar so you don’t miss any of
them.
Take care.
