Plans continue to come together
for the 135th Brussels Homecoming
to be held July 27, 28 and 29.
The planning committee has had
several meetings and are now ready
for the real work to begin. Co-
chairs are Wayne Lowe, Gary Pipe
and Don Sholdice.
Fourteen were in attendance at
the most recent meeting to offer
input and share ideas. Some of the
confirmed events include a parade,
beef barbecue, pork chop barbecue,
dance, community church service,
the annual Tigers fastball
tournament and a teen dance.
Several other suggestions are being
considered.
The colours for 2007 party are red
and white so people will be
encouraged to plan their planting
around that theme.
The kick-off for the Homecoming
will actually be held on Jan. 1 with
a New Year's Levy at the Brussels,
Morris and Grey Community
Centre. There will be family skating
and a social afternoon.
The next meeting is Wednesday,
Oct. 18. at the Brussels Optimist
Clubhouse. Organizers are still
interested in hearing ideas and are
always looking for volunteers.
There are various committees in
need of members so if anyone can
help out, attend the meeting or call
one of the co-chairs.
The committee hopes to make the
135th celebration a party to
remember, full of activities for
'young and old.

inception over 25 years ago this third
Sunday in September really has been
a special day. A day to think about a
very common boy who refused to
give up and his wise parents who
saw the impact he had on others.
So many years after his death we
remember how cancer has affected
our lives. The call to support cancer
research and to get out and
physically do something, makes this
a special day for many across this
land of ours.
Like many things in life we feel as
if control is long gone but that
doesn't mean we give up. So
individually we try our best and
collectively we support the good
causes available.
Thanks to the Leishman family for
their many years of organizing this
day and now to the Optimist Club for
sustaining this work. Thanks to ail.
Sunday was one of those days that
said tour time. Elora, especially the
conservation area has held good
memories for me. It was a place of
peace, in my nurse training days
when several of us would grab the
hot dogs and go to the park for some
quiet time. As a-young mother it was
a very fine spot to introduce boys to
camping, frogs, salamanders and the
Gorge. It's a great place to test the
climbing and water skills and an
efficient place to quickly tire boys
out so their mother could read.
So off to Elora way we headed.
The fields on the ways were a
canvas. Each one offered a new view
of the cycle of life and a time to
review the many blessings we have
in Ontario.
The Elora Gorge Park is part of the
Grand River Conservation Authority
and is the oldest water protection
agency in Canada. In 1938 it became
the guardian of the Grand River, a
Heritage River that starts at the
Luther March and ends in Lake Erie
traversing 38 municipalities. That
sounds pretty tough but they are also
Mait-Side
protecting 82 different species of
fish and their habitat.
So I had an excellent day enjoying
the changes of nature and knowing
the park of my past is just as good
and perhaps better at offering life
experiences to its many visitors.
And yes frogs, -salamanders and
the Gorge are all still there waiting to
be enjoyed.
As we head into the fall season the
folks at the United Church would
like to offer you something to look
forward to. They are inviting you to
go with them to the Sanderson
Centre in Brantford to hear the
Walters family on Dec. 1. Details
will be coming soon but mark the
day for a fun time with them.
Bye now, Betty G.W.
At the Branch
By Jo-Ann McDonald
It's the last week. The Brussels
Legion Branch's elimination draw is

Along with the draw is a fish fry.
There will also be great
entertainment by Dave and Trish.

The men's Huron County dart

event in Brussels this week.
The fish fry crew was back at work
on Sunday travelling to Exeter
