The market is held on Dinsley Street West and will run from 1-4:30 p.m. each Saturday until Sept. 6. For the second year the market there will be one booth dedicated to fundraising for local community groups. Featured Saturday will be the Londesborough United Church. As well, to encourage young entrepreneurs, the market association will donate one free booth per week to a young entrepreneur 18 or younger. The market grew out of a successful one-day experiment in August 2003. Favourite vendors of regular market shoppers including Noah Stutzman (vegetables and baking) and Steele Wool Farms (lamb and woolen products) will be back for the season. The market is still seeking new vendors and anyone interested can call Keith Roulston at 523-4792 (days) or 523-9636 (evenings and weekends). Gwen Papple is a patient in Wingham hospital.

Ushering were David Onn and Randy Fraser. Amanda Swartzentruber was pianist. Guest speaker was Bruce Whitmore. Flowers at the front were placed in memory of fathers by their families. The first hymn was, Come, Let Us Sing of a Wonderful Love. The children’s hymn was This is God’s Wondrous World. The children’s story was about a little boy who rode his bicycle down the path from the house to the orchard. One day his mother and father were making a rock garden and left a rock in the middle of the path. The little boy didn’t know how he was going to get around it. His father came along and together they rolled the stone to where his parents were making the rock garden. Mr. Whitmore read a poem about fathers. Everyone sang The Lord’s Prayer. The choir anthem was How Great Thou Art. The scripture reading was from Luke 15: 11-24. The hymn, Great is Thy Faithfulness was sung. Mr. Whitmore’s message to the adults was God’s Stand-In. He told the story of a teacher asking the children if they knew what God’s first name was. One little boy piped up and said Art. The teacher asked how he came up with that. The little boy replied, “Our Father who Art.” Mr. Whitmore told the story of the prodigal son returning to his father. God is like that father always willing to take people back. God gives unconditional love. Ann Landers said it best, he said, When young dads can do anything. With teens, Dad doesn’t know so much but when people get older again their dad becomes very wise. Day of discovery About 55 4-H members, between the ages of 10 and 12, from clubs in Grey, Bruce, Huron and Perth Counties attended the Ontario Cattlemen’s Association-sponsored Discovery Days at the Blyth Community Centre on Saturday. Activities included a tug-of-war, a cart ride through the grounds on a miniature horse-drawn cart and some parachute play. The topic of the day was the wild west, so attendees were encouraged to dress up in their best western clothes. They were also given t-shirts, which they decorated along with cowboy hats and bandannas. There were also western-themed activities, such as line dancing.
