The annual Dashwood
Friedsburg Days held over
the weekend proved to be
bigger and better than ever.
Days chairman Don
Bender said he was very
pleased with the attendance
and all of the activities.
Bender added, “The crowd
was about the same as last
year in the neighbourhood of
3,000, but, I hope the overall
profit will be a bit higher
than last years’ figure of
$5,800. Our great success is
due to the great co-operation
of the community and the
many volunteers.’’
Friedsburg Days are
sponsored by the Dashwood
volunteer fire department
with the help of a host of
volunteers. Profits are used
for community betterment.
Visitors to Dashwood
consumed about a half ton of
sausages and 250 pounds of
sauerkraut according to food
chairman Ron Merner.
Merner said the volume of
complete dinners was down
but more people consumed
sausage on a bun.
A long parade Saturday
afternoon took more than a
half hour to pass any given
point. Leading the march
were Huron-Middlesex MP
Bob McKinley, Huron-
Middlesex MPP Jack Rid
dell, Stephen township reeve
Cecil Desjardine and Hay
reeve Jack Tinney along
with the Dashwood-Seaforth
band and a pipe band from
the Forest Legion.
The theme of the parade
was Great Moments in
History. Taking first place in
the theme category was the
Hoffman’s float depicting
the progress of the Canadian
telephone system along with
Otis Sawyer as Alexander
Graham Bell.
Second place went to Arc
Industries with their
adaption of the Fathers of
Confederation. Third was
Julius Caesar and his court
sponsored by Merner Meats.

a mobile still featuring the
Tieman’s and Bob McIntosh.

the horse drawn category,

wrestling champion with

and Larry Skinner. Eleanor
Weigand was the women’s
champion.
