Blyth’s home tour showcases
new and old, small and large
Continued from page 1
Raintree Design of Stratford and
Luann’s Country Flowers of Blyth
will be featured decorators in this
home adding their special festive
decorations to this beautiful vintage
home.
The 1998 constructed Wedgewood
Apartment of Enid MacDonald’s
will also be featured. This 960-
square foot apartment will give
smaller dwelling homeowners or
renters an idea of how to transform
their smaller living quarters into
beautiful showplaces for the holi
days.
The apartment building is owned
by Steve and Frances Bearss and
offers ground level entry to bright,
open concept, living quarters. Hot
water heating, heated sidewalks and
outdoor gardens are only a few of the
special features this dwelling has to
offer.
Being situated close to the main
street of Blyth is another bonus these
apartments have to offer.
Luann’s Country Flowers of Blyth
will be showcasing wonderful deco
rations within the apartment while
Porter’s Hill Productions of Bayfield
will be transforming the outside
entrance and hallway of the building
into a warm, welcoming Christmas
adventure.
This location was chosen not only
for its charm but for its appeal to
homeowners or renters who do not
have large living quarters.
The residence of Doug and Barb
Howson is a three-bedroom bunga
low style home built in 1969, which
will also be featured on the tour.
In 1975 the garage was converted
into a family room, featuring cathe
dral ceiling, skylights and an angel
stone fireplace that serves as a focal
point of this room. In 1994, one bed
room was changed to a bathroom. In
1997, the latent addition incorporat
ed an open concept dining room and
oak kitchen.
Windows encompassing this area
create a garden-like atmosphere.
A pasta-pattemed backsplash in
the kitchen, over the counter, was
chosen indicative of their family his
tory in milling semolina products. A
double pedestal oak harvest table
including seven leaves is ideal for
their family gatherings. A specially
designed bay window helps to
accommodate many people while
the homeowners entertain.
K.C. Cooke Florist of Clinton will
be featured as one of the decorators
for this home as well as Zehrs Food
Plus Florist of Goderich. Remember
When of Blyth will also be adding
special touches to this lovely home.
A private country setting located
close to the village is the perfect
combination for Darryl and Karen
Youngblut’s family home, which
will be another featured attraction of
this year’s home tour. With a plan
and layout in the homeowner’s
minds, their lovely home was built.
The Youngbluts’ dream of having
a home with spacious living accom
modations became a reality in 1994.
The oak banister inside the front
entrance and the open concept living
are only a few of the special features
this home has to offer.
The large bay window and the ter
race doors in their oak kitchen are
also a wonderful feature to this coun
try home.
The home will feature the home
owner’s collection of Christmas col
lectibles as well as designed features
from Luann’s Country Flowers of
Blyth, which are sure to bring out the
charm of this location.
This home is a must see as it is sit
uated on a wonderful lot which pro
vides a spectacular view of the coun
try outdoors. When you want the
best of both worlds, this location is
perfect!

decorate the entranceway of the
Blyth Memorial Hall for Christmas.

Musical prelude
begins Knox service
Musical prelude with Bernice
Gross as organist welcomed the con
gregation to the service at Knox
United on Sunday, Nov. 5.
The opening chorus was followed
by prayer by Rev. Paul Ross.
The children’s chorus Jesus Loves
Me was sung as they came to the
front. A toy horse was discovered in
the mystery bag. Rev. Ross spoke to
the children about how they would
be annoyed if a horse did not obey
orders, as people expect them to do
what they know should be done.
He explained that children too
must always do what they had prom
ised to do.
Scripture was from I Samuel 16.
Here God spoke to Samuel and said
that men look at a person’s appear
ance but that He saw a man via his
heart.
Then in Matthew 7 Jesus told the
people that they must follow his
word and do as told. They were sur
prised at his doctrines as he spoke
with great authority.
Rev. Ross’s sermon was Keeping
Our Word. When one promises to do
or not do a certain thing they should
do it, he said. One’s words must be
truths.
Offering was collected by Peter
Verbeek and Elliott Lapp.
