In the dark It was a perfect night for thrills and chills as participants came out on Saturday night for the annual Witches Walk in Blyth. There was a good turnout for the annual event, the proceeds of which go to benefit the local fire department. Though vandals undid some of the early work of the volunteers, it was not enough to spoil the fun. (Vicky Bremner photo) What a change a week can make and what great weather. Fields are being wiped clean of the corn crop and the mound of corn at P & H is growing daily. The last two fields of soybeans I have seen daily have also finally disappeared as well. The wheat that was planted islooking green and great.
