At the Brunch 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.
