Homecoming
Update

BY TOBY RAINEY
With only a month to go before
the big party, Brussels’ Home-
coming plans move into high gear
with the publication this week of a
full-page ad in the Citizen outlining
someofthe major events taking
place over the four-day weekend.
One of the major reasons for
placing the ad at this time is to
invite early entries for the sporting
events, some of which have limited
registration and are already filling
up,'according to Don Crawford,
Sports Committee chairman for the
Homecoming. The Mush-ball
tournament, for instance, which
begins Friday evening and contin
ues all day Saturday can only
accommodate eight teams and has
already attracted a lot of interest.
According to Don, Mush-ball is a
fast-growing event which first hit
the sports scene a couple of years
ago, and is second only to donkey
baseball in the number of laughs
per inning it can provide. Played
under slow-pitch rules using a
softball-size soft (or “mushy” ball)
which, Don says, can do “incred
ible things,” it is a game which
anybody can learn in short order.
The ideal Mush-ball team con
sists of five male and five female
players, but Don says the mix can
vary, as long as there are more
ladies than men on any team. Only
the first eight entries can be
accepted, he says, at an entry fee of
$60 per team.
Joe Seili at Huron Feeding
Systems (call 887-6289) has entry
forms for the event, but pre-regi-
stration for any of the adult
sporting events may be arranged
by calling Don Crawford at 887-
6854, while Neil Beuermann at
887-9598 will take entries for the
kids’ events.
Space may also limit the number
of entries permitted in both the
Soap Box Derby on Saturday
afternoon and the Bathtub races on
Sunday afternoon, so pre-registra-
tion is a good idea for these: we’ll
try to get more information on both
for next week’s Update. Entrants
for most of the other events can be
registered at the time of the event,
but it wouldn’t hurt to call and
make sure you are not left out.
Parade entries should be made
early, too, to give organizers some
idea of the space needed, although
last minute entries may be made
the day of the parade, which gets
underway at 12:30 p.m. on Satur
day (or at 1:30p.m. Sunday, in case
of rain). A parade Entry Form is
included with the Homecoming
advertisement; it should be mailed
to either event co-chairman Harold
Bridge or Dave Hastings, both of
Brussels, as soon as possible.
Harold can also be reached at
887-6003; Dave at 887-6983, if any
further information is needed.
More people are still needed to
help out with most of the events,
according to Homecoming Chair
man Gerry Wheeler, who can
usually be found within a 50-mile
radius of Brussels, although it
might be easier to call Secretary
Mary Lowe at 887-6923 to find out
what you can do to make this party
the best one ever. The next
Homecoming general meeting is at
8 p.m. on Monday, June 8, so plan
to attend.
Remember, too, that The Citizen
is putting together a very special
issue to commemorate Brussels’
115th birthday, and URGENTLY
needs any old photos of Brussels
people, buildings or scenes, with
identification and/or information,
for use in this souvenir edition. We
would also like updated histories
on ALL business and organizations
which have been part of the village
over the past 115 years and more,
but we need it SOON!
Material may be left at the
Citizen office in Brussels at any
time (it’s open 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Monday, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday, but there is a mail slot
in the door for other times). Label
all material clearly with your name
and a contact phone number, and it
will be carefully returned to you as
soon as we are through with it.
Further information on the special
edition may be obtained by caling
Toby Rainey at the Blyth office
(523-4792 or 523-4872), or at home
(887-9789) at any time.
School Formal was held at Wing
ham. Tuxedo’s and long dresses
were the style this year. I must
admittheywerea sharp looking
bunch.
Sympathy is extended to Mrs.
Gordon Miller on the sudden death
of her husband.

LilaGoll included Mr. and Mrs.
Roy Nethercott of Atwood, Mr. and
Mrs. Clarence Goll of RR 4,
Wingham, Mr. and Mrs. Stan
Moffat and Mr. Lome McCrackin

Mrs. Earl Cudmore visited Mr.
and Mrs. Bill Nay on Sunday and
attended the christening of her two
great-grandchildren: Ashley
Melissa, daughter of Rick and
Sherri Nay Windsor, N.S. and
Christopher Allen Nay, son of Jeff
and Nancy Nay, Kitcheenr.
Mr. and Mrs. Rick Nay and
daughters spent Tuesday with
their grandmother, Mrs. Earl
Cudmore.
Mrs. Hugh Kennedy of Toronto
visited Monday with her brother
Jack Hamilton of Callander Nurs
ing Home, Mrs. George Baeker,
and Mrs. R. W. Kennedy.
It was just a practice this week when Michael Seili [left] and Tania
Smith were at the Brussels Post Office to look at a cuddly postman bear
that will be raffled off with proceeds to go to help Guiding and Scouting
in the Brussels area. The two will be making the draw June 12.
