The choir sang Go Out in Joy.

Mark 7: 24-37. Psalm 125 was read
responsively.
Rev. Robin McGauley's message
to the adults was Be Open. They
should be a welcoming community.
The sign at the front of the church
says All Are Welcome.
We are like Jesus and never turn
anyone away, Rev. McGauley said.
Continued from page 1
was well received with Wingham
and Blyth Public schools attending.
The church service on Sunday was
attended by over 500 people.
Music, music, music was
everywhere with all three buildings
presenting entertainment, as well as
performers on the outside stage, in
the tent and the arena.
Hallahan said there were
approximately 350-400 filling Shed
3 for the Sunday night jam session.
Though rain prevented the
Saturday tractor pull all pulls were
completed on Sunday.
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.
On Sunday the results were: bag
tying, Don Reaman, 35 seconds,
Nicole Lowe, 56 seconds; log
sawing, Jason Searson and Shag
Campbell, 9.1 seconds, Roseann
Adams and Lisett Top, 20.1 seconds,
Shag and Joan Campbell, 13.1
seconds; belt setting with a tractor,
Walter and Jamieson Ribey, one
minute, 27 seconds, Carol Brunsma
and Jamieson Ribey, 1 minute, 18
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.
Everyone is welcome.
