Hullett Days are back as community party
After taking a year off, the
celebration known as Hullett Days
will be back this Saturday, bigger
and better than ever.
The two-day celebration that
had been a township highlight for
many years has been cut back to
only one day, but Hullett councillor
Bob Szusz says that more fun for
everyone has been packed into that
one day, and the festival is
expected to be an outstanding
success.
The day kicks off at 1 p.m. with
theopeninggameofa Mushball
Tournament which will run until 5
p.m., pitting teams from the four
corners of the township against
each other, Mr. Szusz said. At the
same time, kids up to 12 years old
will be involved in Summer Fun, a
program of games and activities
led by Hullett Summer Experience
playground leaders Tanya Boon-
stoppel, Tracey Middleton and
Deanna Lyon, which will also
continue throughout the after
noon.
Hullett councillor Ken Anderson
is in charge of the Pork Barbecue
which gets underway at 5 p.m. at
the Londesboro Hall, and con
Montgomery Picnic held
at Sid McCullough's
The Montgomery Picnic and
Birthday Party was held Saturday,
June 25 at the home of Sid and
Marg McCullough, King St. and
was a real surprise.
Those who attended included
their daughters Margaret Cook,
Jeremy and Al; Shirley and Bruce
Hulley, Cheryl and Steven of
Goderich. Nieces and husbands,
and families present were Irene
and Jim Boilard of Kitimat, B.C.,
Shirley and John Strong, Monty
Taylor and friend and twin boys
tinues until everybody is fed, likely
around 7 p.m. The barbecue is the
only event of the day with an
admission charge, but the meal, at
$6 for adults and $3 for kids,
promises to be one of the best you ’ll
have all summer, say the volunteer
cooks and workers.
The Farmers’ Olympics will
beginatabout8p.m.,andwhile
the exact content of the games is
being kept a well-guarded secret,
Mr. Szusz hints that there will be a
Jell-o eating contest, as well as
several different obstacle courses
which will provide almost as much
fun for the onlookers as they will for
the contestants.
The co-ed teams for both the
Mushball games and the Farmers’
Olympics were chosen by dividing
the township into four quarters,
then having each section choose its
captain and team members, the
only criteria being that they all live
in that quarter. The Summer Fun
program and the barbecue are, of
course, open to everyone, while all
profits from the barbecue will go
back into township recreation, Mr.
Szusz said.
“There’s been one heck of a lot
David and Gregory of London;
John Montgomery (a nephew), and
daughters Tricia and Tracey of
Stratford; his sister Jean and

days in July and everyone enjoyed
themselves. A lovely lunch and
birthday cake was served.
of work go into this event since we
started planning it back in April,’’
he added, explaining that while
volunteer recreation co-ordinator
Neil Salverda of RR 1, Clinton is at
the head of the project, dozens of
volunteers from all over the
township have committed many
hours of work to the day’s success.
The annual Hullett Days cele
bration was abandoned last sum

many of the same volunteers, Mr.
Szusz said. But earlier this year,
council’s Recreation Committee
sent a questionnaire to every
family in the township, asking
what they felt the future of the
event should be.
When the overwhelming re
sponse was that it should be held
every four years, it was decided
that the first of the new fun-days
should be held in 1988, and

continue on from there.
“There are no prizes, just
prestige, for the winners, ’’ Mr.
Szusz explained. “The whole
purpose of the day is to get
everybody out to socialize with
their neighbours, and to just plain
have fun.’’
Hullett Days events take place in
and around both the Londesboro
Hall and at the village’s ball
diamonds, beginning at 1 p.m.
