Patricia Wilbee was overjoyed when she was named the
Brussels Fall Fair Ambassador for 2000, receiving the crown
from outgoing representative Katie Harrison at the ceremo
ny last Friday at the Brussels Legion. Amy Ross was named
first runner-up.
Sunday was a busy day on
Tumberry Street. Waneta Leishman
and crew got the Terry Fox Run off
on the right (or maybe left) foot to
support the work of one of our
Canadian heroes. Terry Fox is one of
those names that everyone can relate
to, who after 20 years still makes
people think of hope and cancer in
the same thought. We need more
Terrys in our lives.
Meanwhile the Zone C-l of the
Legion was forming up at Huronlea
to start out their fall convention.
They paraded down to the Legion to
the swirl of the pipes. Good to see
them.
Four beautiful, talented young
women put their community spirit on
the mark as they let their names stand
to be Ambassador of the Fair on
Friday night. Reports to me were that
the evening was a success with good
company, great entertainment and of
course excellent food. Would we
expect anything less from the fair
board. Patricia Wilbee will represent

Come out and support
Lin Stef tier for
Mayor of Huron East
our community at upcoming fair
events. Thanks ladies. You make us
look good.
These three events got me thinking
about volunteers and time spent for
the improvement of lives. A lot of
work is done prior to any event and
only those who have been there real
ize the time commitment that keeps
communities viable. At one time the
statistic was around that two per cent
of the population does the majority
of the volunteer work. So to the vol
unteers of the weekend and those
who keep other events and services
alive, thank you. To those who are
not giving time and talent to at least
two community based groups - why
not? Take time to think what makes
this a good place to live and then
offer to support that work. Members,
money, ideas and interest are always
welcome. Make the group’s day and
offer to help - they’ll love you.
The weather has been conducive to
fall strolls. See if you can find the
mountain ash that is growing out of
the Brussels maple. It’s a nifty sight.
Enjoy the beautiful fall days and
see you at the fair.
