The achievement program for the
Grey 4-H Snickerdoodles was held at
the Cranbrook Hall this past Sunday
morning. All 17 members had to
make a pie from scratch.
The leaders welcomed everyone,
then Yvonne Knight, guest judge,
told members about the importance
of judging and what things judges
look for when judging pies. She
thanked them for inviting her and
told the members to keep doing 4-H
because it’s a great program.
President Sam Fretz presented her
with a 4-H bag.
The leaders called each member
forward and presented them with a
silicone baking mat for successfully
completing the baking club.
Afterwards they played a trivia
game against the parents and guest.
The questions all came from the
project book or were talked about
during meetings.
Members and guests then got to
enjoy the many different pies.
The leaders talked about the next
club that will be about etiquette.
Sweet achievements
It was a delicious finish to the Grey 4-H Snickerdoodles club
with the achievement day on Saturday. Each of the
members made a pie from scratch to be judged then later
enjoyed by those in attendance. (Photo submitted)
I am writing on a very blustery
Monday morning and wondering
why my school wasn’t cancelled.
Those who headed out to work found
the roads very slippery and snow
covered and quite a few folks forgot
their winter driving skills and found
themselves in the ditch.
I saw a few cars on my travels and
heard of quite a few more over the
radio that caused detours for the bus
routes.
Old Man Winter isn’t quite ready
to pack it in for the year but
hopefully this will be the final blow
of this season.
Congratulations to Brian and
Sharon Pryce on the birth of anothergrandson. Proud parents of new sonBryce are Teresa Pryce and CodySimon.The Walton Hall was the place tobe for the P&H customer growermeeting on Thursday, April 2. Therewere nearly 40 area farmers on handto hear guest speakers Dale Cowan
on soil testing, Jeff Burgsma on Pride
Seeds and Steve Johns from
Syngenta.
The meeting started at 9:45 a.m.
and was followed by a delicious roast
beef dinner provided by the Walton
Hall board.
It was a real community effort to
help at the meal. Hall board members
Judy Lee and Judy Emmrich had the
early shift for preparation. Then
friends of the Hall, Mary Bernard
and Kathleen Williamson had their
shifts with member Jo-Ann
McDonald dropping in to help for a
while. Stopping by to help with
dishes was another friend of the Hall,
Heidi McClure.
It is wonderful when so many folks
do what they can to pull off a
successful mel.The Cranbrook dart league hasfinished up its season with a greatturnout at its last couple of nights.On March 24, there were 16 playersout for fun at the boards, shooting forthat big score. In the end, high shotswent to Kathy Workman with 122and Brad Speiran with 133.

It was a quiet week but a busy
weekend at the Brussels Legion
Branch.
The Thursday night darts had 12
players. In the first-place team were
Harry Smith, Jim Brown and Sandra
Josling. Second place went to Kae
Smith, Glen Zehr and Gord Jacklin.
The high shot of the night was by
Lawrence Machan hitting 112.
The Friday night supper of roast
pork was enjoyed by a crowd of
nearly 50. The majority stayed to
enjoy music. The trio of musicians
are Don Chesher and wife Dale
along with Ron Howatt. They played
many of the old tunes that had folks
singing quietly along.
Don invited people to come up and
sing, but no one was brave enough
this time.
The group has offered to play the
first Friday night of the month for an
hour or so and hopes people will
come out and enjoy the music
following supper. If you would like
to join in playing, contact Don.
It was a very enjoyable evening.
There is no supper this Friday as it
is Good Friday and the Branch will
be closed.
Saturday was very busy with both
euchre and Huron County darts.
There were 10 tables of euchre
players hoping to have lucky cards
but the luck was with Eileen Sellers
and Marie Stewart who scored 86
points for the day and first prize. In
second place team were Helen
MacKenzie and Betty Hulley with
72 points and third prize went to
Willis and Betty with 68 points.
Having very little luck were
Elizabeth and Ruth S. who won only
42 points for the day.
The passes for another euchre
were won by Bush Whittard and
Helen W. for most lone hands.
Euchre is every two weeks.
It was busy upstairs at the Branch
with the Huron County men’s dart
league having their singles and
doubles playoffs. There were about
45 men taking part and having a long
but good day.
The Sunday night dance
attendance hit the 100 mark for the
first time in 2009. The music was by
the John Heaman Band, a very
popular band with the crowd.
Elections are on April 28. It would
be nice to have some new folks take
an interest in this exciting time for
the Branch and to serve on the
executive. Please contact the Branch
if you feel you have some time to
contribute and to learn more on how
the Branch runs.
Digging in
Bernice Pierce was one of the many volunteers chipping in
last week at the Blyth Legion’s daffodil lunch to benefit the
Canadian Cancer Society. The lunch raised funds for the
Cancer Society by selling daffodils as well as soup and
sandwich lunches. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
