Walton Brewers take part in Centenaires event
We wanted heat and we have had
heat. There has been so much heat
and no rain, which has made things
very dry across our area. Even the
corn is showing some signs of
distress; the leaves are curling into
themselves. A couple of days called
for rain, dark clouds formed and
then the sun came out again. The
north had a heavy rain, Seaforth had
a heavy rain, but there was no rain in
Walton. Then the cold front moved
in and what a change! It was time for
sweaters and for long pants; turn off
the air conditioners; open the
windows and put an extra blanket on
the bed. Ontario weather can change
quite quickly!
The McGavin family gathered for
the first of two weddings in their
families. Brent Melady, son of Pat
and Cathy (McGavin) Melady , and
Shawna Regier were married in a
small intimate wedding at the Dublin
Church. The dinner and reception
was held at the farm of Pat and
Cathy. Following the dinner, an
informal evening of visiting and
mingling of the guests was enjoyed
by all. Congratulations to the
newlyweds.
A lovely wedding was held on
Moncrieff Road on Saturday evening
when John Van Vliet and Deirdre
Kirlin were united in marriage.
Close to 100 guests witnessed the
special event held on the Van Vliet
farm. The bride and groom walked
to the area for the ceremony with
man’s best friends, their two dogs.
John’s son Andrew was his father’s
best man and Dee was attended by
her sister and friend. An open
reception for the many friends and
extended family members,
neighbours and work associates
followed. A unique late lunch was
handmade pizza served hot from the
wood-fired pizza oven on site.
Delicious! Congratulations to the
happy couple on Moncrieff Road.
A group of eight men began their
annual motorcycle trip and this time
they headed to the eastern U.S.
Heading out for their five-day
adventure were George and Harry
Zwep, Ray Rammeloo, Albert
Roetcisoender, Felix Weber, Felix
Weber Jr., Henk Paradis and Lucas
Weber. We will have an account of
their adventures for next week, as it
has been a busy weekend for us.
The Walton Brewers were part of
the Seaforth Centenaires Men’s
steak night, held last week. The
event featured grilling your own
steak, beer tent, games of strength
and agility and the Walton Brewers
against the Fullarton A’s. Walton was
victorious and nearly 150 men
enjoyed the evening. There were
many Walton area men who found
many old friends to visit with during
the evening.
A group of four Walton ladies had
an enjoyable evening together while
the men were away. Jo-Ann
McDonald, Marni Knight, Judy Lee
and Jane Zwep went to the Huron
Country Playhouse to see You’ll Get
Used to It – The War Story. It was a
wonderful musical and we all
enjoyed it immensely. Dinner before
the show for the ladies was a nice
treat. I would recommend going to
see the show if it is ever in the area
again.
The Walton Hall hosted a Blyth
Festival dinner on Saturday evening
for a very small crowd of 20. They
enjoyed a roast beef dinner and were
extremely happy with fresh
strawberry pie and peach cheesecake
for dessert. Helping for the event
were board members Judy Emmrich,
Judy Lee, Jo-Ann McDonald and
Margaret McInroy.
The construction at the RTM
North building in Walton is in full
swing. Soon the trusses will go up
and roof will go on.
Congratulations to George and Pat
Langlois on celebrating their 61st
wedding anniversary. The best
couple in the world, with a beautiful
family, loads of friends and hearts of
gold, they are a great example to all
who know them. Congratulations
from all your Brussels friends!
It is grandparenting time around
our place for this week and next. We
have either three, four, five or six
children for all day, all night, half
days, or before or after camp days.
There has been quite a change in
noise level at our house between
deciding what they will eat, what
they won’t, making a mess, cleaning
up the mess and then making another
mess. Yikes, I had forgotten the joy
of children!
Celebrating birthdays this past
week were Lorna Fraser, Pete
Martene, Neil Mitchell, Melanie
Kirkby, Emma Johnston, Jackson
Janmaat, Alicia Dalton, Nicholas
Shahshahani, Doreen Hackwell,
Ed McClure, Monica Ryan,
Tracey McKee, Jackie Glanville and
Grace Robinson. Happy birthday to
all.

Seaforth’s main street was the site for the town’s annual Summerfest on Friday night, which
featured plenty of things to do and see, including a car show and a live music stage. Kicking
off the action for the night was Stone School, who would eventually make way for Singing and
Fiddling, The Honey Sweethearts and The Seaforth Garageband before sunset yoga with
Sarah Blake finished up the night. (Shawn Loughlin photo)
