A new attraction this year, the OPP canine detection unit was well received, said Hallahan, while there was a good turnout for the stepdancing and fiddle contests. For the special events, chairman John Lowe said the numbers were down compared to other years. Due to health and safety issues Blyth on Sunday, Sept. 17 at 2 p.m. The suggestion of a Memorial/Celebration Forest was brought to the attention of the Communities in Bloom Committee approximately five years ago. The suggestion was to take some land that was currently scrub and plant trees and perennials in memory of local people/ancestors who have passed away, special anniversaries, etc. there was no nail-driving competition this year. Saturday's winners were: bag tying, Don Reaman, 48.2 , Jean Hedley, 45.3; log sawing, Jason Searson and Shag Campbell, 14.1 seconds, Lori-Ann McCauley and Joan Lawson, 41.3 seconds, Dave Freer and Candy Hoven, 28 seconds.

There were no participants for belt setting with a steam engine therefore the John Hallahan Memorial Trophy could not be presented this year. The service is held each year to help people deal with their loss, and to remind them that memories live on. The garden provides a way for people to be closer to nature, to reflect upon and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Blyth Greenway. The Foundation will create, cultivate and enhance all aspects of conservation, helping to provide present and future generations with a safe and healthy environment. "On the whole everything was well attended," said Hallahan. Despite some rain on Friday night and Saturday morning, it was a very good weekend." As the Memory Garden survives totally on donations, the donation cards are available at Falconer Funeral Homes in Clinton and Blyth, or by contacting Bev Elliott at 519- 523-4323 for more information. All donations are greatly appreciated and are tax deductible. "One generation plants a tree or a flower, so the next can enjoy the shade or beauty. A tree and perennial program like this is important to the community and reminds them that harmony with the land is like harmony with a friend. Planting trees and perennials is a permanent way to recognize a loved one and at the same time give back to the earth." To find the Memory Gardens, turn east on Drummond Street at Scrimgeour's Food Market and travel to the end of the street.' Bring a lawn chair to the service.
