Lee at Huronlea
Residents
spend day
at fall fair
By Lee Chesterfield
“Johnny’s so long at the Fair” and
why not? It’s the Brussels Fair!
Some residents from Huronlea
spent a couple of happy hours there
on a lovely summer day sandwiched
between two rainy ones. They came
back and told the others who were
unable to attend about the beautiful
ly made handicrafts, the baked
goods and the parade with the ani
mals.
They watched the children squeal
ing and giggling on the rides. They
had a sumptuous lunch of meat on a
bun and a piece of homemade pie.
This was a day to put in their “treas
ured memories” compartment of
their brain.
When a bad day comes up (and
everyone has them) they can say
“I'll just pretend I’m at the Brussels
Fair.” Believe me, it works every
time.
A young lady has joined our
group, she is Amy Ross. Amy
attends F. E. Madill high school in
Wingham and next year she hopes to
go to Conestoga College taking
recreational end leisure services.
She is a co-op placement and will be
here until Jan. 23 working under the
most able supervision of Steve Cook
and Shirley Robinson. When Amy
comes into a room everyone smiles.
Her happy personality is most infec
tious.
We should have more young peo
ple with us. They keep us young.
Amy celebrates her 18th birthday on
Oct. 3.
