On Tuesday evening, the Legion
had a team participate the Brussels
Fall Fair in the Green Acres Mayor's
Challenge. Team members on the
Legionnaire Looney Tunes team
were Norm Dobson, Allyson
Cardiff, Andy Overholt and Sandra
Josling. They had to shuck corn,
build a vegetable pig and do an
obstacle course, as well as being
judged on their costumes. Tied with
the Brussels Optimist team for first
place, the pepper toss decided the
win for the Legionnaire Looney
Tunes.
The presentation of the Mayor's
Challenge trophy — an oversized
decorated tricycle was made to the
team. The team with a couple of
replacements had the trophy on
display on a trailer to participate in
the fair parade.
The Friday night supper this week
is roast beef.
Another week has flown by and
once again we must be having a
good time because I lost the week.
It's Monday once more and time to
look back just a little to see where
the time went.
The weather held out and the fall
fair was fun for all. Thanks for the
fine show of experience and talent as
the rest of us admired pickles,
writing, pies, flowers, grain, art,
calves, photos, vegetables, horses,
handiwork and hobbies. Well
done.
Friday was Brussels day at the
International Plowing Match and
Rural Expo in Meaford. It was a
good day for checking out the
displays and wares and good to see
several familiar faces — Tim, Jim,
Leona, Clarence, Marie, Graham
and Marg. Another beautiful area of
Ontario.
On Sunday Allyson Doreen was
baptized into the United Church of
Canada. She was on her best
The sold-out elimination draw was
held Saturday. Over 170 enjoyed the
fish fry. A number stayed to enjoy
the Legion Troupe entertain.
Prior to the draw Bessie Johnston
and Donald Dunbar provided music
on the pipes. It was wonderful.
The Legion Family Feud pitted the
Hatfield and McCoys against one
another. The Hatfield team included
Darryl from Dorking (aka Tim
Harrison), Debbie from Dorking
(aka Ruth Lowe), other brother
Darryl from Dorking (aka Rick
McDonald) and Darla from Dorking
(aka Allyson Cardiff).
The McCoy team featured Bill
from Brussels (aka Gary Pipe), Bob
from Brussels (aka Norm Dobson),
Bev from Brussels (aka Linda
Hislop) and Barb from Brussels
(aka Patty Vandemeere).
Host John Lowe Dawson did an
excellent job of running the game
show with assistant Vanna White
behaviour and brought smiles and
relief to her parents Marc and Tricia
Barbour as well as the grandparents,
aunts and uncles.
This week's Kitchener Record had
a feature on Huron County's Alice
Munro. The heading read "Master of
her craft" and went on to praise her
new book Runaway.
Like very few current authors she
sees the world with clarity and talks
about lives that show the workings
of our time. Besides living in our
area, Alice has found a second piece
of heaven and lives part-time in
Comox, B.C. That part of Vancouver
Island was one of the spots that we
checked out as tourists in July and it
can give Huron a run for a pretty
nice place to live and work. From
the sounds of the reviewer Alice has
another literary masterpiece for us to
share.
The little buggy germs and viruses
are in a hurry this year and chose
Braemar and Huronlea to make their
presence known. Visitors are being
restricted for a few days as the lives
of these little bugs are under strict
surveillance. Life comes to a halt
when the unwelcome microbes enter
your system and about all you can
do is not share.
So hello to our friends at Braemar
and Huronlea — you'll soon have
visitors again.
Good bye September.
Bye now, Betty G.W.
(aka Deb Trollope).
During the commercial breaks the
acting troupe went into action.
Helping out were Sandra, Catrina
and Devon Josling, John and Julie
Harrison, Jo-Ann, LeeAnn and Kelly
McDonald, and Eric Ross.
The evening concluded with the
top prize winners being drawn.
Congrats to the $1,00 winner, Sandra
Giesbrecht.
Comrades Ross and Marg Bennett
and Mabel Glanville travelled by bus
to Parkwood for the variety show
and to present the goody bags to
patients.
