Summer is officially over. Sheila
Richards is home from cottage
country and catching up with friends
about Brussels happenings in the
past few weeks. Sheila thought that a
welcome party had been organized
for her homecoming but soon
realized that it was the Huron East
crew cleaning up a tree at her place
that had gone with the wind.
The mighty winds of last week did
a job on lots of unhealthy branches
in the area. Exercise was readily
available to many homeowners to rid
their lawns of loose twigs and
branches.
Fran Bremner had another reason
to smile concerning her
grandchildren this month. Carlene
was using her young talent to portray
the younger sister of Tom Connors at
the Festival version of Stompin’
Tom. Jerry and Vicki have been very
supportive of the arts with their
daughter over the past few summers
and the natural talent shows through.
So that may be one of the reasons
Fran has that little smile on her face.
Next week’s the fair. The history
of the fair and where each of us fitsinto that history makes forinteresting conversations. Be sure toshare your stories with others nextweek.For me the Crystal Palace was apretty impressive building seenthrough the wide eyes of a weecountry girl. The thrill of a little
freedom to wander away from
parents, to buy grape pop and hang
out with friends was a big day for
me.
Years later fair dances at the
Palace were memorable, some more
memorable than others. For many of
you the scrubbing of the Palace in
preparation for the fair will be part of
your story of the past.
Marching, races, school work
prizes, 4-H and food make for very
good stories.
We are so fortunate to have people
willing, every year to make the plans
for the fair and see that they are
accomplished.
So in advance thank you.
See you at the fair.
Bye now, Betty G.W.
