E. Babcock returned as Blyth BA president
Eleanor Babcock was returned as
president for 2004-2005 when the
Blyth Business Association held its
annual meeting and dinner at the
Blyth Legion, Oct. 26.
Joining Babcock on the executive
are Luann Taylor as vice-president,
Lorna Fraser as secretary and Donna
Longman as treasurer.
Kevin Falconer of the Blyth and
District Fire Department presented
trophies for the best decorated
windows during this summer's Fire
Fighters Association of Ontario
convention to The Village Barber for
first place, Blyth Apothecary for
second and Luann's Country Flowers
for third.
Falconer said he is also a member
of the board of directors of the
provincial group and often has people
tell him how amazed they are that a
small town like Blyth can accomplish
so much. Recently with a meeting
being help in Teeswater seven
firefighters stayed in Blyth because
of their good feelings about the
village, he said.
There was more Blyth-boosting in
a report by North Huron clerk-
administrator John Stewart on the
prospects for Blyth playing host for
1,000 campers for seven or eight days
at Campvention 2006. During a visit
this summer, the organizers for the
campout were really impressed by
the spirit of Blyth, Stewart said, and
though no decision has been made. he
felt the village had gone from a
distant second to Markham to the
leading candidate for the event.
"My gut feeling is this was a group
of people who came because their
arm was twisted," Stewart said. "But
they were amazed at what they
found."
Those showing the delegation
around the village explained that
while Blyth is small and doesn't have
a standing infrastructure to handle
big events, ,things are accomplished
by many groups and individuals
working together.
The delegation was impressed they
could walk to stores from the
campsite and the Greenway Trail was
nearby. They toured stores and
Bainton's Old Mill and the
Emergency Services Training Centre.
Stewart said negotiations are
ongoing and there's no assurance
Blyth will win the competition but he
feels very good about the outcome.
In other business, BBA members
voted to hold quarterly breakfast
meetings rather than monthly
meetings. The next meeting will be
