SWIMMING CHAMPS — A large number of Exeter boys and girls attended the 16th annual Boom's
Recreaton Camp at Pike Lake and came away with more than their share of the sports championships. The
local swimming winners are shown above. From the left are intermediate runnerup Doug Armstrong and
champion Scott Batten; senior champion Rich Fletcher and runnerup Andy Kyle.
Tigers complete MEP schedule,
meet Crediton in playoffs
the aid of a hit. Brad Gregus
reached first on an error as the
lead off batter and scored as Rob
Dickey was safe on another
Clinton fielding miscue.
Each team scored three runs in
the first inning and the game was
nip and tuck the rest of the way
with the Tigers coming up with
their sixth and tying run in the
ninth.
Doubles by Dave Parsons and
Kevin Bestard and a single from
the bat of Rick Schilbe powered
the three run Dashwood first
inning.
In the Dashwood second Glen
Thurman walked and scored on
Rick Schilbe's second straight
single and Dave Parsons walked
and scored in the third.
With Clinton leading 6-5 and
one out in the Dashwood ninth,

Better yet
Bigger and better than ever. Those words seem to be
used quite often to describe the hopes of those promoting
many area events.
They really apply this coming weekend in Dashwood
where the always popular Friedsburg Days are being held.
The Dashwooci firemen with help from a lot of volunteers
are undertaking this project which provides a lot of money
to many worthwhile causes throughout the area.
To select one feature attraction is difficult as the
program beginning Friday night and continuing right
through Saturday is aimed at pleasing all age groups.
The weekend actually begins around the supper hour
-Friday as the always delicious Dashwood sausages and
sauerkraut will be ready to satisfy appetites of the many
visitors. expected.
During the past couple of years, the Friday night talent
show has attracted many top notch amateur acts from the
district. Anyone wishing to take part in the talent show
should contact Theresa McCann or Donna Hoffman.
The Saturday afternoon parade should be a colorful one
with the theme of "Festivals ,ctf. the World". Ruth Anne
Merner who is in charge of the parade with the help of Paul
Salmon suggests some of the floats could depict the Mar-
digras, a Spanish bullfight or other similar events.
Entries for the parade will assemble at the ball park at
1 p.m. Saturday for judging and will head out from the park
an hour later for a tour through the streets of Dashwood.
A large number of celebrities will be riding in the
parade including area municipal officials, members of
parliament, Gary Allen Price of CFPL Radio and possibly
either Miss Dominion of Canada or Miss Teen Canada.
The two popular sporting events, tug-of-war and arm
wrestling are back on the Saturday agenda. Sports convener
John Becker has been assured of a good number of entries
for the test of strength including last year's overall arm
wrestling champion, Dennis Lamport. Preliminaries will
begin in mid-afternoon and the finals at about 7 p.m.
Last year's tug-of-war champions from Mt. Carmel are
expected back under the guidance of coach Bill Regier.
Strong opposition is expected from a combination team
from Zurich and Dashwood.
At 4 p.m. the second annual pet show will be held with a
variety of prizes including the smallest and largest pets,
best groomed, best trained, dog with the longest tail, etc.
At the Zurich Fair, Saturday, the prize for the most un-
usual house pet went to a large Leghorn rooster owned by
the Purkis family of Kippen.
One change in the Friedsburg Days activities will have
the Miss Friedsburg Queen contestants attending the Fri-
day and Saturday events with the actual crowning held back
until about 10:30 Saturday night.
Best of luck to the Friedsburg Days officials. We hope
the weatherman co-operates and Ron Merner is able to
manufacture all the.sausage necessary.
Early rodeo
The annual Exeter rodeo is only two weeks away. Don't
get excited. No, it's not quite September yet.
Officials of the rodeo in an experiment have moved the
1977 dates ahead to August 6 and 7. This is an attempt to in-
crease crowds by staying away from a holiday weekend.
The second change concerns operation of the rodeo
itself. The local committee headed by president Hugh
Kennedy will be in charge of readying the fair grounds for
the rodeo and taking care of all administration.
A work night is scheduled for tonight, Thursday and
another one next Tuesday. This involves getting the
bleachers and the rodeo ring into proper shape.
The rodeo itself will be operated by stock contractor
Mel Wakefield of Norwood. Wakefield will be responsible
for taking the entries and supplying the stock and judges
and other necessary personnel.
The local rodeo committee will receive a percentage of
the gross gate. All profits are to be turned over to the new
South Huron Recreation Centre.
Secretary Jack Malone tells us that "all seats in the
grandstand will be available on a first-come basis". He add-
ed, "we are eliminating all reserve seating."
Members of the Exeter Agricultural Society will again
be at the gates to take care of admissions and the Exeter
Saddle Club will be serving breakfast both Saturday and
Sunday mornings.
The annual rodeo dance will be held Saturday night,
Agusut 6 at the Huron Park Recreation Centre with Larry
Walls and his orchestra supplying the music. Walls is also a
rodeo performer.
Another successful camp
About 30 Exeter and area youngsters participated in the
16th annual Boom's Recreation Camp which was held
recently at Pike Lake, near Mount Forest.
The camp was originated in 1962 by Don "Boom"
Gravett who was then rec director in Exeter. Originally it
was known as Boom's Kin Camp and when Boom moved to
Hanover it was known as Camp Boomohra.
Along with the change in the camp name this year came
an alteration in the camp cheer. It went as follows:
"Two bits, four bits, six bits, a dollar! Come on
campers, Stand up and holler! Razzle, Dazzle, Zis-Boom,
Bah! Boom's Camp! Boom's Camp! Rah! Rah! Rah!"
Kelly Tiedeman of Exeter was named the top female
camper of the week and a number of local youngsters were
winners in the track and field, swimming and basketball
competitions.
These included Scott Batten, Rick Fletcher, Matthew
Tuckey, Ronnalee Bogart, Kelly Tiedeman, Jim Fletcher,
Ian Munroe, Andy Kyle, Doug Armstrong, David Bidtnes
and Nancy Deitz.
Centennials
get draw
An early goal, and almost
continuous drives, couldn't lead
Exeter Centennials beyond a 1-1
draw with Grand Bend Sunday in
,usable district soccer at Can-
ner's field.
Joe Laurie, the Centennial
captain, punched his club ahead
10 minutes into the game with a
shot from just outside the 18-yard
penalty mark,
Yet for the rest of the match
Exeter played without the luck of
a break, or a ball that would run
for one while they exhibited some
of their best soccer of the season.
They dominated the Bend, and at
least should have left the field
with a 3-1 win.
As it was, Grand Bend's Bernie
Kelders tied the game at a goal
apiece and ended the scoring in
the first half by working home a
free kick. The kick was awarded
when Paul Van Esbroeck, the
Centennial keeper, was called for
steps beyond his penalty area
while handling the ball for
clearance.
Afterward, the Centennials
resumed the pressure they
opened with and retained
throughout the game. Their few
mistakes were always im-
mediately covered, and from
every player the locals got
sustained contributions to well-
balanced attack and defence.
Even so, additional goals were
missed by millimeters on repeat
opportunities by Joe Laurie, and
from chances by several others
wearing the Centennial blue and
gold.
The club plays away at West
Williams next Sunday and the
next home game at Canner's
Field is at 2 p.m., Sunday, August
7, when the Centennials host
Taxandria.
