Plenty to see and do at Brussels 125th anniversary
A treat
It was a bit of a wait and unfortunately due to time constraints a brief show but the routine
performed by the Yokohama Drum and Bugle Corps in Brussels was fresh and a nice way
to gear up for last week's Homecoming festivities. The corps, which was to have arrived
Monday, for a show that night was delayed by a typhoon. Following a rehearsal Thursday
morning, they did a short drill for a good number of people who had come out to watch
Clowns
Then and now
Diane Huether in her husband Brian's old Tri-County
uniform from, well, a few years ago, and up-and-comer
Shane Gibson, show that some things really don't change
much.
Children along the Brussels
Homecoming parade route
were entertained by a variety
of clowns and costumed
creatures.
Stroll down memory lane
The classic car show at Brussels Homecoming took a lot of people back in time as they
looked over some 200 entries. Prizes were awarded in several classes. The Friday evening
was cruise night, during which 95 classic automobiles toured to Wingham and back to
Brussels.
Spuds, spuds and more spuds
Linda Baillie, left and Jean Prescott tend to the 1,500
potatoes served to the people at the Brussels Agricultural
Society’s beef barbecue Friday night. Cardiff's Catering
cooked up a meal for 1,300, who were in attendance for
the Homecoming celebrations.
Perfect attire
John Rutledge and his mother, Doreen, truly suited the
situation when they helped Brussels celebrate its 125th
birthday with a parade, Aug. 3.
In first place

class.
