Branch members participate in golf game
FROM BRUSSELS
By Jo-Ann McDonald
The Brussels Legion members
are glad to report that Comrade Alf
Sutton was released from hospital
and is home recovering.
Comrades Frank Stretton and
Eric Ross participated in District
golf at Fergus on Saturday. They
shot 92 and 88 respectively.
The Friday night supper of
goulash and pizza casserole was
enjoyed by a smaller crowd than
usual. This week is beef stew.
The fish fry crew was off to
Walkerton Legion on Saturday.
The crew included Lloyd and
Mabel Glanville, Norm Dobson,
Rick and Jo-Ann McDonald.
The Saturday afternoon euchre
had 17 tables at play. The winning
team of the day was Helen Dobson
and Mabel Willis with 79 points. A
tie for second place, with each
team earning 77 points, shared the
second and third-place money.
Prizes went to Janet Mathers,
Irlma Edgar, Ed Stewart and Glen
Sellers. Not so lucky at cards were
Shirley Hackett and Kay
McCormick earning only 44
points. The lone hand winners
were Dorothy Carter and Jim
Smith.
Euchre is every two weeks.
The Sunday night singles dance
had a nice crowd dancing to the
music of Country Motion. A new
band for Brussels, John and
Geneva Heaman are playing in
two weeks and reports are they are
excellent.
President Norm Dobson hosted
some members of the executive
and friends at his home on Sunday
afternoon for a social time and
supper.
Thank .1'ou
What an adventure. The Cowboy Loft is up and running. The past few months,
from major renovations to the final jewellery display has been very interesting. To
Len Gamble, thank you for letting us incorporate the old ring into the Cowboy Loft
and giving us the opportunity to expand our business. Caldwell Construction of
Blyth did a tremendous job. A big thank you to Ken Young and Ken Empey. Your
craftsmanship is unbelievable. TenPas Decorating, Brian, Murray and Kevin, you
guys floored us. The shadows are the perfect added touch. Frank Workman, thank
you for giving us light and for having the understanding of women changing their
minds. The Pennington Heating group, it's great to know we will have a warm
building come fall. Your small space was somewhat an inconvenience but it made
it work. Kramer Concrete, your maiden voyage to cobbling went well, an added
attractive entrance. Paul Stewart, WOW give you a welder and you can do magic.
The spinning saddle stand and other western fixtures are beautiful. To our staff,
your patience, understanding and help over this project was terrific. Being in a
construction zone for a long period of time isn't easy to continue business as usual,
but you did it. Shari Stewart, what an enjoyable, rewarding and at times
exhausting journey we have been on. Your expertise and experience brought our
ideas to life. Your hard work and dedication to this project has not gone unnoticed
or at anytime unappreciated. Thank you so much. To our family and friends, your
encouragement and enthusiasm has been appreciated. It's great to know that
you're behind us. To our children, Nathan, Taylor and Emily, thanks for looking
after things at home. We appreciate all you did during this project and what you
did without. We had a great turnout for our open house. The weather co-operated
as did the horses. Everyone worked very hard to make it a success. Special thanks
to Kevin and Jacquie Bishop, Wayne Lowe, Sara Preston, Sharon Reinman, Laura
Haskins, Trudy Upshaw, Melissa Coultes and Megan Morrison. Anyone else who
contributed in anyway to the Cowboy Loft that we have not mentioned, thank you.
We have enjoyed this journey and welcome your visits and continued support to
Brussels Agri Services and The Cowboy Loft.
