There were 21 participating from several countries: Peru, Brazil, Germany, Australia, Northern Ireland, Sweden, Spain, Italy. Following the fish fry the exchange youth put on a short program for the Lions and their guests. This year’s entertainment included ethnic dancing which was outstanding.

They stayed with host families giving each member of the exchange more opportunities to experience Canadian culture. Ten community-minded dedicated Lions served up breakfast for 36 exchange students July 17 at Bill and Susanne Robinson’s new sugar camp. President Greg Park said the group was thrilled with this opportunity to serve these great young people. A successful bridal shower was held for Ruth Anne Bakker in the basement of the church. Neighbours and friends joined in giving her best wishes along with some useful gadgets. Since the groom, Michael, is a fisherman who participates in fishing derbies and is very interested in catch and release competitions and programs, and since they met while playing volleyball - that was the theme of the shower. The fishing - volleyball theme was heavy on the fishing as Ruth Anne had to fish for advice in a pond and wear a fishing hat with worms for atmosphere. This winning combination was the brain-child of Bernice Gross. A reading was given by Ruth Armstrong on an application Michael had to fill out for his potential father in law and Karen Webster read the address before the gifts were brought to the front. Ruth Anne thanked everyone. A lunch of muffins, cheese and jam was served. The colour theme was purple and white balloons, flowers, tablecloths and a grape drink fit into the colour scheme very nicely. Ernie Durnin is set to leave hospital this week. Ernie will be leaving a toe behind, but he is felt to be better off without it.

Lillian Logtenberg is also in hospital and we wish her a speedy recovery. The Auburn community was saddened to see John and Tina DeVries moving to a community near Brantford.

The couple left on July 8 with a visit to Grace’s sister Evelyn Robichaud in New Brunswick. A week later they joined up with Hebo and Margaret Siertsema and they climbed Sugar Loaf Mountain that is 1.000 feet high. They saw Hope Well Rock in N.B. This is where the tides go out for six hours so they were able to walk the ocean Boor. They also camped at Plaster Rock in New Brunswick just 60 miles from Riley Brook where they were witness to a 10-year tradition of 1,000 canoes filled with fiddlers playing their music. There were even several canoes lashed together so they could accommodate an entire band. It was a colourful and musical experience. The Siertsemas continued on to tour Cape Breton Island and Jim and Grace joined them on Prince Edward Island where they toured the highlights. The weather was rainy while visiting Evelyn, then it turned very hot at the end of June. Following the eastern trip Jim and Grace spent 10 days camping at Port Loring. A hearty congratulations to Ian Andrews and Bev Brame on their engagement. Ian is the son of Sandy and Shirley Andrews. Nancy and Greg Park have a house guest for the time being. Max is a tall handsome, well trained young male with a soft shoulder and a cold nose. Max seems to fit right in and with little effort everyone, including family pet. Mulligan, may lake a real shine to Max. Additions to the Dungannon schedule for the long weekend are airbrushing tattoos on Saturday and a dunk-tank, (always fun) throughout the three-day event.

(Jim Brown photo) South Huron Sheep Club meets at leader’s By Robert Henderson The fourth meeting for the South Huron 4-H Sheep Club was on July 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the leader, Florence Pullen’s house. To start the meeting members played a half-hour game of soccer and said the 4-H pledge. They then jumped into a conversation about sheep diseases, what symptoms they show, preventive medication, and how to treat the disease. After discussing information on Go For The Gold, they split into two groups. One group judged eggs and the other had to judge wheat. When finished judging their category they switched. They ended the meeting with president Jessie Leeming saying the 4-H motto. Did you know? (NC) - Animal related incidents are responsible for one in five injuries on Canadian farms.
