Baillie Thomas, the youngest soccer player to use the
new field and Shane Gibson the youngest ball player on
the new diamond cut the ribbon to officially open the
Brussels, Morris and Grey Athletic Field. The cermony
was held following Sunday's parade and just prior to the
Tri-County Reunion games.
Horses being a popular attraction at parades, Love's Percherons added an old time feel as
they strode through the streets of Brussels for the 125th birthday celebration.
